ABSTRACT

Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) are of tremendous help in the situations where human loss and injury can be avoided. Solar energy is completely dependable and bolstering form of energy which would be compliant to quench the needs of future energy requirements. Combining both Solar power and UAV will but buttress a variety of operations, limited only by imagination. The aircraft we have designed is in UAV, which can be used for short-range surveillance. The UAV runs on solar power and electric motors and therefore is reliable, cost-effective and non-polluting. Unlike others, UAVs are very light weight, making them portable. The wing uses SD7032 aero foil to support the sail plane characteristics of the t UAV. The tail plane is of V tail type to cut down weight. It can be controlled from the ground using a transmitter/receiver set. Proper utilisation of the UAV promises life-saving situations and a perfect substitute for manned surveillance.
