Ababeel Morphing Drone
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryAbabeel is a novel technology that includes a morphable drone. The drone is designed to be such that it can be encapsulated in a missile for the sole purpose of better surveilance and disaster management. The basic design consists of a quadcopter that can alter its shape to reduce its size by 50 percent. It will have the ability to be deployed in mid air.
Project ObjectivesProject Objecticves include:
- Morphology
- Size Reduction of Drone
- Flight Controls
Following would be our implementation methodology:
- Creation of 3D Model of our Drone.
- Fabrication of a conventional Drone Body.
- Circuitry of a Conventional Drone.
- Addition of mechanical hinges to conventional body for the sake of morphology.
- Upgradation of circuitry according to new need.
- Flight tests.
- Modifications as per requirements.
- Final Report.
- First Morphable Drone of its kind.
- Accessing difficult terrains.
- Battery Efficient.
- Better Surveilance.
- Advancement in the field of weapon manufacturing.
- Fulfills the need of modern warfare.
- 3D Model of drone
- Fabrication of Morphable Drone
- Addition of passively activated rotory joints i.e hinges
- Mid-air morphology without use of additional actuators.
