Abstract

Drones have been implemented for several applications around the world due to its robust technology and ease of operation. The incorporation of advanced technologies into Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) platforms have enabled many practical applications in precision agriculture (PA) over the past decade. In this project, we are considering drones that are implemented for agricultural purposes to spray the fertilizer without the need of a person nearby. This project uses an innovative Hexa-copter design with a new streamlined structural geometry. This design is validated for its successful implementation through stress analysis using ANSYS and also through suitable material selection for fabrication. The drone parts are built by selecting four other materials for different components. The outcome of this research provides suggestions, maximum/minimum stress levels and future directions to overcome challenges in optimizing operational proficiency of the drone.
