Abstract:
Delivery drones represent a transformative technology poised to revolutionize logistics and service industries globally. This graduation project comprehensively explored the design, optimization, and fabrication of a versatile delivery drone (quad-copter) tailored for efficient and sustainable operations. The project began with meticulous design phases encompassing propeller motor selection and aerodynamic optimization of the frame to minimize drag. Advanced structural analyses, including topology optimization and rigorous static and vibrational testing, were conducted to ensure robust performance under varying operational conditions. This project not only contributes to the advancement of locally manufactured drones but also lays the foundation for interdisciplinary collaborations and educational partnerships aimed at fostering drone technology innovation in Algeria. By pursuing these avenues, the project aims to address diverse societal and industrial challenges while promoting sustainable development and innovation in unmanned aerial vehicles.
