V TOL (DRONE)

It's a combination of both fixed wing and multi-copter. For flying fixed wing drone you need a bigger area for takeoff and landing. For multi-copter, you don't need a bigger area for takeoff and landing. But the fixed wing can carry more loads with less power consumed than the multi-copter. For the multi-copter, you don't need more area where it can fly any places.

1. 3D Printer

2. Automobile Prototyping

3. CNC Machine using Arduino

4. Project Management with Primavera


By combining together you can achieve both the advantages of these drones. For the making of this drone, you will need one fixed-wing aircraft and multi-copter frame. For takeoff, multi-copter is being used, after reaching some altitude fixed wing motor will starts to spin where the multi-copter motors stop to spin. This transition is completely done by the autopilot.

The advantage of this drone is you don't need a bigger area for takeoff and landing.

Project Description:

  • AIRCRAFT WITH THE MULTI-COPTER FRAME: This is the flight that flies autonomously where you are going to fix all the electrical and electronics components on to it
  • FLIGHT CONTROLLER: The flight controller(autopilot) will be fixed over on the plane which act as a brain and controls all the control surfaces of the plane as well as the multi-copter motors automatically when it got pre-programmed by the the software.
  • GPS MODULE:This unit will help you to follow the way point which was pre programmed in the software.
  • AIR SPEED SENSOR: It will help you in transition, it means after getting some altitude by the multi-copter it will automatically switch to the fixed wing flying
  • POWER MODULE: Power module is used to power the flight controller board where it also helps to trigger the RTL function internally when battery level gets low
  • ESC: Electronic Speed Controller used for controlling the speed of the BLDC motor.

  • Motor: Bldc motor used for both fixed wing and multi-copter to produce the thrust by spinning the propeller which helps the plane move forward along with the lift.
  • BATTERY: Lipo battery is used as a power unit for the both plane and multicopter.
  • PROPELLOR: It converts the rotational power into thrust
  • SERVO MOTOR: Servo motors used for controlling the control surfaces of the aircraft
  • TELEMETRY MODULE: It is used for dual way communication
  • TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER:2.4GHZ TX and RX. It should have minimum 5 channel.

Project Implementation:

  1. Above mentioned electrical and electronics parts should be mounted on the aircraft with multi copter frame. Connections has to be done properly.
  2. Now the battery is to be connected to the power module
  3. Open the QGroundcontrol software which is already downloaded in your computer and connect the autopilot into that software.
  4. Install the firmware and do all the mandatory calibrations
  5. Now go to the flight plan page in the QGround control and make your own plan that you want to fly and send mission to the autopilot
  6. First you should check the model by flying both fixed wing and multi-copter separately before trying the auto mode
  7. Now the aircraft is ready to fly autonomously

Software requirements:

  1. Q-Ground control
