This paper presents the design and manufacturing of a high speed jet powered UAV which is capable of flying at M=0.5. Flight time of the UAV is 30 minutes at 1700 m above sea level. Aerodynamic and structural design of the UAV is conducted for 6g sustained and 9g instantaneous loads. Low aspect ratio blended wing-body design is decided due to low drag and high maneuverability. Structure of the UAV consists of the composite parts such as frames and skin and mechanical parts such as landing gears which are from aluminum and steel, engine holders, parachute release mechanism and etc.

Design and manufacturing of a quad tilt rotor unmanned air vehicle Kahvecioğlu, Ahmet Caner; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014) This thesis presents the design and manufacturing process of a mini class quad tilt rotor unmanned air vehicle (UAV). An optimal design procedure is conducted to satisfy a set of pre-determined requirements, which ensure a competitive aircraft platform performing primarily intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions in UAV market. The aircraft has four electric motors with tilting capability in one axis, which gives it the opportunity to combine the vertical take-off and landing capabilities with...
Design and manufacturing of a solar powered unmanned air vehicle Özcan, Servet Güçlü; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) The aim of this thesis is to describe the conceptual design, performance analysis including solar energy collection and manufacturing process of a solar powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and validate the design through ground and flight tests. Through a literature survey of solar powered aircraft, main design requirements are chosen. The solar powered UAV designed for this study is a small scale aircraft and intended to be used simply and frequently by end-users. Therefore it is designed as a flying win...
Development of an autopilot for automatic landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle Arıbal, Seçkin; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) This thesis presents the design of an autopilot and guidance system for an unmanned aerial vehicle. Classical (PID) and modern control (LQT, Sliding Mode) methods for autonomous navigation and landing in adverse weather conditions are implemented. Two different guidance systems are designed in order to navigate through waypoints during normal and/or emergency flight. The nonlinear Pioneer UAV model is used in controller development and simulations. Aircraft is linearized at different trim points and total a...
Design and Analysis of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Hybrid Trailing Edge Control Surface Having Camber and Decamber Capabilities Topaç, Ömer Tanay; Taşdemir, Burcu; Gürses, Ercan; Çöker, Demirkan (2015-09-12) This paper presents the design and analyses of an unmanned aerial vehicle hybrid trailing edge control surface having camber and decamber capabilities. Initially, a brief introductory information were given about morphing concepts. Then, the structural design and analyses in in-vacuo condition are presented. The aerodynamic loadings were calculated at the morphed configurations, and these loads were transferred to the structural mesh in order to assess the design capability under the aerodynamic loading. It...
