BRUAS
MENG PROJECT
Design and Manufacture of an Autonomous Aerial Vehicle for Payload Drop and Reconnaissance Missions
Our project focused on creating a comprehensive Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), involving design, modeling, and manufacturing:
Designed and model the entire UAS (unmanned Arial System) for FEA and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Testing, Maintaining a comprehensive archive of design changes.
Work was conducted as part of a cohesive team of 7, my responsibility being the aerodynamic design (FEA) and modelling (CFD) of the UAS.
The design was then optimized based on CFD analysis, tailoring the UAS to meet the systems, propulsion, and structural requirements.
This project was conducted as part of the IMechE UAS Challenge 2020, where our team placed 6 out of 36 universities and received the safety award for our design.
The project was completed with support from the BRUAS (Brunel Unmanned Aerial) Society ran by the members of our team, Established for the continued annual entry into the UAS Challenge.
