DRONS-UAV PROGRAMACIÓ

Descripció:

This project aims to develop an algorithmic framework for the preliminary design of electric propulsion unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with particular focus on multirotor drones. The algorithm will integrate theoretical models of aerodynamics, propulsion, energy storage, and mass estimation with commercially available (off-the-shelf) components to generate feasible drone configurations. Given a set of mission requirements—such as payload mass, flight time, and operational constraints—the algorithm will compute candidate designs and evaluate their performance. The resulting designs will be benchmarked against existing commercial drones and/or reference configurations to assess accuracy, robustness, and design trade-offs. The project emphasizes a systems-engineering approach, combining analytical modeling, numerical implementation, and validation through comparison with real-world data.

Objectius:

-Develop a modular and extensible algorithm for the preliminary design of electric propulsion drones. -Validate the algorithm using known UAV configurations and performance data. -Benchmark the algorithm against existing design approaches or commercial drones. -Analyze design trade-offs between payload, endurance, efficiency, and system mass.
