Description:

This project investigates the trade-off between endurance and flight control performance of Multirotor UAVs (drones) that have tilted rotors. Tasks including modifying an existing quadcopter, analysing the dynamics using a numerical model, and flight testing in a wind tunnel at different wind speeds.

Type:

Undergraduate

Outcome:

Prerequisites

At least one student should be a BE Mechanical student. Experience in flying multirotor UAVs is preferred.
