Overview

This project details the design and structural validation of a small fixed wing UAV built specifically for drone defense applications. Modeled entirely in Siemens NX, the assembly includes a carbon fiber fuselage, moving ailerons, a rear mounted four blade propeller, and retractable landing gear. The report also features FEA validated against static based calculations on the wings and landing linkage to ensure they can withstand expected flight pressures and tension.
