| dc.description.abstract | A drone is a flying machine that can be remotely controlled or can fly automatically by programmed controlling flight systems. Nowadays, there is a growing need and use of flying drones with diverse capabilities for both civilian and military applications. Recently and locally we see mini drones being used for photography and video recording during parties. It's of need to know that there are so many powerful roles drones can play. There is also a significant interest in the development of novel drones which can autonomously fly in different environments and locations and can perform various missions. In the past decade, the broad spectrum of applications of these drones has received most attention which led to invention of various types of drones with different sizes and weights. In this particular project, a multirotor quadcopter was constructed and tye factors that could enhance the drone to work with better efficiency and more flight time with less power consumption are elaborated. Design of propellers, total weight of the drone, battery capacity, environment, are seen to be among the factors that influence the performance of the drone. It's construction was based on the knowledge of forces like lift, drag, thrust and gravity. Quadcopter works on the relative nature of forces, which means when rotor pushes air, the air also pushes the rotor back. | en_US |
