Conceptual Design and Analysis of a Multi Functional UAV

Aerospace Engineering

Since past decade, there has been a drastic increase in the UAV technology to cope up the ever increasing demand of new and improved solutions for already existing problems. Making use of an aerial vehicle for jobs such as traffic monitoring, [1] payload delivery, [2] military surveillance, agricultural and industrial survey is far more time and cost efficient than having to do the same manually. [3] Moreover, automating these tasks with unmanned aerial vehicles takes the efficiency to another level wherein, a UAV can be programmed to map out a particular area to gather data without any human intervention. This automation helps to complete long and tedious task with utmost precision and real-life results. [4] This has now become a trend to use a UAV for such applications which has led the UAV market to rise more than $45 Billion value in past few years. It has made the DGCA to implement new laws and regulations for aviation of these UAVs. While considering the above applications and possibilities, [5] the UAV enthusiast have been managing to come up with more unique ways to use this technology for betterment of humanity. This thesis shows yet another unique advancement in the UAV technology that could open doors for using this system for multi-tasking.
