Micro aerial vehicle with basic risk of operation

We draw current efforts towards proposing a wing-type micro UAV with characteristics of being a basic operation risk self handled (Micro-Brosh) platform. Its micro-sized wingspan and weight, which are less than 0.30 m and 0.150 kg, respectively, guarantee the low risk to the operator and installatio...

description We draw current efforts towards proposing a wing-type micro UAV with characteristics of being a basic operation risk self handled (Micro-Brosh) platform. Its micro-sized wingspan and weight, which are less than 0.30 m and 0.150 kg, respectively, guarantee the low risk to the operator and installations in case of crashing. It can be launched manually without using an appropriate runway, besides using a soft grass field for landing is recommended. Its associated costs for construction and maintenance are very low (below US$ 500) if compared to traditional aircraft. The main contribution here is the architectural design, besides we provide detailed documentation including techniques for determining lift, thrust, drag, minimum flight velocity, maximum time of flight and distance (autonomy), and other issues that we have solved related to the aircraft development. We validate our prototype with experiments including several tests done with the UAV with results that have proven its flight ability. To the end, we understand that this work provides a nice starting document to researchers that intend to develop a UAV or enter this field.
