Research abstract
It is proposed to develop an innovative compact VTOL UAV to maximize payload and endurance. The micro-air-vehicle will be able to carry a five pound payload for 25 minutes while being compact enough to fit through a door.Using AVID proprietary design tools, trade studies that include costs, rotor size, weight, and endurance will be performed on identified configurations to down select to a single design. Testing of representative propulsion and control configurations components will be performed to reduce risk for follow on development. Further analysis and refinement of the down selected design will result in a prototype ready to be manufactured.
