Abstract:
Nowadays, many drone models are available, designed for the most diverse applications. However, the various models fall into one of two types of drone: multi-copter or fixed-wing. The first type of drone consumes a lot of energy, since motors have to turn during all the flight. The former type of drone, in general needs a runway to take-off and landing. Moreover, they fly fast and cannot be motionless, which is unsuitable for many applications. In this paper we present a new paramotor drone, conceived and designed to overcome the highlighted limitations and to be a low-cost solution adapted for most applications. The selection of the various components of the presented prototype was based on a very thorough study, considering aerodynamic and efficiency criteria.
