Design of Quad Plane UAV with Carrier Gripper for First Aid of Victims from Aircraft Accident

摘要

Accidents can happen in many kind of public transportation to all people. This main of this kind of accident is evacuate process of transportation accident like plane and ship, meanwhile the location of accident can not reach, in case like aircraft accident at mountain forest and shinking of ship in the middle of the sea. Exploration in the accident area will be difficult with terrain to access it from rescue team. Therefore UAV is needed, UAV must have capability to hover at deep forest and can cruise in the middle of ocean, so the rescue team can easily find it. The author design a quad plane with an estimation of the plane’s total weight is 4400 gram and have ability to hover using four vertical motor and cruise using one horizontal motor that placed in the behind of UAV. Whereas to make transition from hover mode to cruise mode it requires an airspeed sensor as the parameter to make transition so than the plane will not lose the lift force. From the results of flight tests, quad plane can make the transition from QHOVER mode to FBWA at 10 m/s, with an altitude at 34 meters, a flying distance of quad plane at 188 meters, and a maximum speed of quad plane is 25 m/s. The quad plane also able to release the payload in the form of first aid which is useful for providing first aid to survivors.
