Course Project: AT21900: UAS Design, Build, Test

I. Intro

This page contains everything we did in AT219: build a quadcopter. If you have read About Me: General, you probably already realized that it was an easy project.

Structure of this page:

  • I will first put on our Building Process Log and Maintenance Manual which will give you a general idea of this project.
  • Then I will put the flight video. Our quadcopter, Denver, was the only one that didn’t crash.

Structure of this semester:

  • Systems of a quadcopter: frame, power and power calculation, control
  • Reverse Engineering: each group disassembled old quadcopters to see how everything was put together.
  • Each group started building a quadcopter with new materials, mainly focused on the frame and the power system.
  • We started designing and making the flight controller mount and finishing parameter settings.
  • Test flight.

III. Test Flight

This was the test flight in the lab.

We also set a switch that would enable Denver to fly in a circle, and this video demonstrated that.
