Design of unmmanned aerial vehicle and gorund terminal

The aim of this thesis is to design and manufacture a full autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle. Previous studies have been examined, according to the needs of the type of air-vehicle was determined. The most suitable avionics and propulsion elements were chosen as a result of the mathematical calculations based on the approximate capacity of the air-vehicle. The design of the air-vehicle was performed in CATIA V5 according to the elements decided to be used. Production of prototype work was done by 3D printing method. After the revision works, electronic equipment for integration was prepared to the level of sub-assembly. The system was mounted in accordance with the complete designation of the flight controller used. According to the flight controller APM instructions, the required short tests and software downloads to the air-vehicle have been completed. Ground tests and flight tests were completed successfully. Camera and rocket systems were added after the successful flight of the air-vehicle except for the payload. Pre-flight plan required for autonomous flight was prepared. Flight plan was transferred to the air-vehicle flight controller. Images and rocket studies were examined during the given task.
