Drone manipulator optimization and integration in affordable quadcopter

This paper explores the development of a drone-attachable manipulator designed to perform construction and maintenance tasks, moving beyond the traditional use of UAVs for monitoring. Our primary objective is to design a manipulator capable of lifting objects weighing up to 300 grams, adhering to principles of low cost, ease of manufacturing, and high quality. We begin with a literature review of UAV types and their suitability for integration with manipulators. The design process involves creating multiple manipulator prototypes using Solidworks for simulations to gather data on performance and structural integrity.Static stress and displacement analyses are conducted to identify areas of high stress and potential deformation. Initial designs demonstrate that the static force required to hold a 300-gram object exceeds the capabilities of our prototypes. The final manipulator design is tested for its lifting capabilities and operational limitations. Re The study concludes with an evaluation of the design process, limitations, and potential for future applications of UAV-integrated manipulators in infrastructure construction and maintenance

Development of Full Composite Wing for Aircraft Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy 600

Bachelor work „ Development of Composite Wing for Embraer EMB-135 BJ Aircraft”. Author of the paper: Jevgenijs Domanskis. Scientific supervisor: Mg. sc. ing., Adham Ahmed Awad Elsayed Elmenshawy. Paper for obtaining the degree „Aviation Engineering”: 57 pp., 14 img., 20 tabl., 20 ref. AIRPLANE, WINGS, CONSTRUCTION, COMPOSITE MATERIALS, MASS CHARACTERISTICS This paper considers the use of composite materials in the design of the wings of Embraer EMB135BJ Legacy 650. The paper shows that the use of composite materials in the wings design instead of traditional aluminum alloy materials gives a reduction in weight and an increase in the aerodynamic quality of the whole aircraft, which allows to increase the flight range and duration.
