“…4 (a) was chosen as a baseline concept design for air-ground vehicle based on a typical rotorcraft configuration. In [8] states, the vehicle had some limitation i.e. difficulty meeting the requirements of near-quiet acoustic signature and could not meet the requirements for autonomous operation.…”

This paper investigates the first design and testing for an unmanned three-mode vehicle. The vehicle feature's built in four main components, whereby a coaxial rotor set, propeller, wheels, and pontoon mechanism allow work independently of one another when fly on the air, move on the land and capable of traversing across the water surface. Moreover, that the vehicle performed vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) on the ground and from the surface of water. The design procedure includes vehicle structural design by three-dimensional solid modelling using SolidWorks TM and CosmosWorks TM , proposed design considerations and performance calculation. In testing, vehicle had considered by demonstration on the air, land and water. The variety of mechanism's transformation set to support manoeuvre on three-mode operation has been constructed to verify the feasibility and reliability of this vehicle. The gross weight of the vehicle is 557 grams and the (desired) endurance is about 10 minutes. A control algorithm has also been proposed to allow the unmanned vehicle to travel from its current location to another location specified with changeable channel on Tx Modulator. Flight and surface tests were performed following fabrication. The study shows that the design can be followed and used for build an unmanned three-mode vehicle for research and development purposes.

“…The most other version are manned and unmanned air ground vehicle. This vehicle named as 'flying car', 'roadable aircraft', 'dual-mode vehicle' and other terms are used to describe the all-purpose vehicle that can fly like an airplane and drive on the highway like an automobile [10], [11]. This work purpose is to explore system level concepts that can provide this capability using a combined unmanned air/ground vehicle (UAGV).…”

This paper describes towards the conceptual design and construction of an unmanned small-scale air-land-water vehicle. Conceptual design refers to the initial design of parts followed by the assemblies to form components of the vehicle. The vehicle features a unique device system consists of four main components; a coaxial rotor set, propeller, suspension, and pontoon set. It independence for another when fly onair, move on-land, and capable of traversing across aquatic. The design procedure includes design requirements followed by solid modeling and design parametrization concept using SolidWorks. The proposed design specifications and integration of vehicle systems as well as experimental evaluations were used to construct a fully functional unmanned vehicle, namely Unmanned Small-scale Air-Land-Water Vehicle (USALWaV). Various component to support maneuver on three mode operation (i.e. ground, air and water) feature has been constructed to verify the feasibility and reliability of USALWaV. The conceptual design and construction of an unmanned small-scale air-landwater vehicle were illustrated and verified with an integration of the vehicle system.
