摘要
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used both in military and civil across the world in recent years. Nevertheless, their design always involves complex design optimization variables and deci-sions. Therefore, this paper aims to guide through the designing, manufacturing, and testing of an elec-trically powered radio-controlled aircraft for achieving a take-off, cruise, safe landing and carrying the highest payload possible. The whole process involves several phases, design phase, structural analysis, performance analysis, materials used, manufacturing, and finally aircraft testing. The final aircraft was designed with an empty weight and maximum take-off weight of 15.43 Ibs and 33.07 Ibs respectively while the wingspan, cruising speed and maximum speed were 70.1 in., 46 ft/s and 78 ft/sec respectively with a total take-off distance of 100 ft.(c) 2022 THE AUTHORS.
