Abstract
Drones are increasingly used to replicate human presence and are extremely capable whether it is in terms of delivering aid to war torn areas or carrying reconnaissance missions beyond borders. Due to their increasing demand in all forms, an arsenal of drones has to be maintained and there is a need to make existing drones capable of maneuvering wherever the need be. Design of drone with land, water and air affinity is proposed along with non-linear analysis of drone structure. Physical contacts in the drone structure and gravity is accounted for and simulated. Weight carrying capacity of the drone is measured by increasing the weight of the components in each simulation run till the point of failure. Landing capability, structural integrity and stress is studied to ensure the structure doesn't collapse. Effective visualization tool for variable thrust, rpm and forward speed of the drone is developed, which is able to generate real time data regarding the drone's flight by plotting a three dimensional surface plot of varying thrust, rpm and forward flight speed. Model of the drone is used to study the flight plan of the drone with gravity considerations in non-linear analysis. © 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
