Today Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have found widespread use and may have been using them to capture various events or take photographs of operational areas; but the fact is that UAVs or quadcopters, which are some of these flights, are still at the beginning of their journey and can be future applications will be more widely used. Given the geographical situation and the current situation in the world, the country needs to step up with the world in order to strengthen the defense forces. One of the tools that have been used in recent decades to other tools due to their characteristics and their unique features, including the absence of human casualties, the study and more precise missions, and ... are of interest to many countries, including our country, are unmanned aerial vehicles. Many researchers have been carried out on these devices today. In the same way, our researchers in our country have done a lot of researches on this device in recent years and tried to make these birds with the least cost and with the highest efficiency. This paper also attempts to analyze the flights with the ability to carry the camera. At first, its components, including wings, body, tail, and landing gear, are optimally designed and then aerodynamically and instrumentally analyzed, so that this research used to build these flights species in the future.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained significant attention in recent times due to their suitability for a wide variety of civil, military, and societal missions. Development of an unmanned amphibious vehicle integrating the features of a multi-rotor UAV and a hovercraft is the focus of the present study. Components and subsystems of the amphibious vehicle are developed with due consideration for aerodynamic, structural, and environmental aspects. Finite element analysis (FEA) on static thrust conditions and skirt pressure are performed to evaluate the strength of the structure. For diverse wind conditions and angles of attack (AOA), computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis is carried out to assess the effect of drag and suitable design modification is suggested. A prototype is built with a 7 kg payload capacity and successfully tested for stable operations in flight and water-borne modes. Internet of things (IoT) based water quality measurement is performed in a typical lake and water quality is measured using pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), turbidity, and electrical conductivity (EC) sensors. The developed vehicle is expected to meet functional requirements of disaster missions catering to the water quality monitoring of large water bodies.

This paper describes the design and development of the Dove, a flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV), which was developed in Northwestern Polytechnical University. FWMAVs have attracted international attentions since the past two decades. Since some achievements have been obtained, such as the capability of supporting an air vehicle to fly, our research goal was to design an FWMAV that has the ability to accomplish a task. Main investigations were presented in this paper, including the flexible wing design, the flapping mechanism design, and the on-board avionics development. The current Dove has a mass of 220 g, a wingspan of 50 cm, and the ability of operating fully autonomously, flying lasts half an hour, and transmitting live stabilized color video to a ground station over 4 km away.
