DESIGN OF A TYPICAL MULTI-ROLE VEHICLE USING QUAD-ROTOR THEORY

Abstract

This research presents a design of a typical multi-role vehicle that can be used in the air, above the water and the ground as a typical remote controlled “RC” model. The design of the vehicle was a challenge of combining an unmanned aerial vehicle called quad-copter, with an unmanned model of a ground and marine vehicle called hovercraft. The research approved the possibility of the combination between the two vehicles. The required calculation to reach this combination had been made into two divisions: the marine and the ground state, and the aerial state. Designing and modeling of the vehicle was conducted using CATIA, where finally a concept for the multi role vehicle has been fully defined. The research also described, in detail, the theory of control of the vehicle in the two states
