Electric duct fan uav with telemetry system using yagi-uda antenna

Rasayana Racing Plane was designed to fly at high speeds with an Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) motor as the main driver. The manufacturing process of Rasayana Racing Plane was carried out to make a UAV as light as possible using composite materials through the vacuum bagging method for fuselage and hand lay-up for the wings and stabilizer by adding core material in several points as reinforcement. The main focus of the research is on the air duct in the form of nozzle and diffuser to maximize the speed. The UAV uses electronic components such as ESC, battery, receiver, transmitter, servo, power module, etc. Whereas the UAV that is supposed to fly auto requires additional electronic components, i.e. flight controller, GPS, and telemetry system uses a Yagi-Uda antenna. The analysis was conducted for the wing such as aspect ratio and wing load, then the testing of air duct, flight controller parameters, and Yagi-Uda antenna were carried out by direct flight test. © 2019 IJSTR.
