Diseño y construcción de un vehículo aéreo no tripulado de ala fija (uav) con un sistema de despegue y aterrizaje vertical (vtol). / Mauricio Antonio Quinteros Calispa

Abstract

This thesis shows the result of a process of mechanic design to build a vertical take-off and landing UAV, using as base the concurrent design. This starts with exhausted research of all prototypes which are in the international environment and serve to determinate technical specifications to design the VTOL airframe. By using engineering selection criteria, we obtain design alternatives among the combinations of modules. Modules encompass from phase of prototype creation until electronic implementation, this implies UAV manufacture since a virtual solution to a tangible one. Final alternatives are subjected to a small analysis of aerodynamic. On this way it gets in the best solution. Calculations comes from a base of a plane that belongs to ATA group of EPN, and we obtain basic features where we can implement flight phases own of a VTOL UAV. Each flight phase requires an analysis which determines the power and the selecting accurate components. An ideal flight is due to a good integration and operation of elements. Essential parts of thesis are the VTOL system design and behavior that is implement on the UAV. Selection of components linked to design makes it ideal for local conditions. Part final of document shows the complete construction of UAV, this was made by local materials and people. Also, it indicates times and elaboration costs.
