| description | This paper presents the technology review and design study now carrying-out at UTM on the micro air vehicles (MAVs). There are several existing MAVs in the market with various configurations and built for a designated function. These vehicles may carry visual, acoustic, chemical or biological sensors for such missions as traffic management, hostage situation surveillance, rescue operations and a few more. In this report, all existing technology for MAV airframes and systems was reviewed. After reviewing all the configurations, the concept of rotary wing MAV was selected for our design study. The concept was selected mainly due to its stability during manoeuvres. The components selection and system integration required for building the MAV were also discussed. The components were arranged in such a way that the centre of gravity of the MAV is located at the centreline of the body. This is to stabilise the vehicle statically and dynamically. |
