Design

VTOL UAVs design means the comprehensive system development of such VTOL UAVs from all aspects, including the aircraft design and implementation, onboard devices integration, ground station support, and long-distance communication. We proceed with aerodynamic analysis, mechanical design, and manufacture.
Up to now, we designed 2 versions of combine VTOL UAV and 2 versions of tail sitter VTOL UAV. And our present work is that design the third version of combine VTOL and the third version of tail sitter VTOL UAV.

Optimization

To reach the maximum range or endurance, we optimized VTOL system design, include aircraft layout, aerodynamic parameters specification and propulsion system selection. We write a MATLAB program to optimize this problem where some experiential or theoretical formulas simplified the whole VTOL system. The flight range or endurance is taken as objective function.
This optimization program can be used for any kind of VTOL aircraft design by specified the number of propeller, maximum take-off weight and battery parameters.
