Novel design of VTOL Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for transportation of medical supplies

Abstract

Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) based Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) allow quick, safe, and effective transit of resources from one place to another. Its primary objective is to complete its mission in a short time, thus, making it more useful during emergency cases such as road accidents. A novel design for VTOP UAVs has been proposed in this paper. A mobile application has been created to send and receive commands. The cost estimation and analysis have been carried out for the development and deployment of this device in a real-life scenario. VTOL Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are a novel design for the transportation of medical supplies that aim to significantly increase the flight range and endurance compared to conventional aircraft rotorcraft configurations. The overall conceptual design, modelling and computational simulation of this design are presented.
