this is a presentation for a design of a medium endurance drone

1. DESIGN CONSIDERATON FOR A CLOSE-RANGE MULTI-ROTOR DRONE [PROPOSAL] Proposed Supervisor: Dr Ameer Phd

2. INTRODUCTION T he focus of this research paper is to analyze energy sources , and avionics hard ware combination to give medium endurance flight time for a multi-rotor drone.

3. AIM & OBJECTIVES The aim of this project is to analyze a suitable design for a medium endurance (Approximately 30min flight time) multi-rotor drone. OBJECTIVES: Provide a background of the current stage of the technologies and design parameters that should be taken into consideration. This research will provide a basis for future student exploration into designing and manufacturing .

4. LITERATURE SURVEY Design Considerations for Long Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Advancements made in the Evolution of present Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Remote Sensing and Scientific Research: Classification and Considerations of Use S mall quadcopter drones as educational tools in agriculture at the university of queensland

5. METHODOLOGY QUANTITATIVE PREDICTIONS Carry out analysis on previous designs similar to the end goal. B. A website software program ecalc https://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc.php will be used to calculate the most suitable battery and avionics hardware combination to give the desired medium endurance, after the analysis. .

6. CONCLUSION At the end of this paper I would have analyzed power options and use ecalc software to come up with the best combination of Li-Po battery, Electronic S peed Control , Motor and other important components the will give achieve approximately 30 minutes of flight time for a multi-rotor drone.
