INTRODUCTION :-
WHAT IS DRONE:-
Drones are also called UAV or Unmanned aerial vehicles. Basically these are miniature robots that are
capable of flying. Wherein they are controlled with the help of a remote control system.
Drones are used in such situations which are beyond human reach or rather risky and difficult.
They can monitor that fi for 24 hours for the whole week. Each drone can send you all the
real-time imagery by monitoring it over a long period of time. Therefore it is also called "eye of
far as we know that there is a Covid-19 pandemic going on at the moment, it will not be appropriate to go
to Kovid-19 infected patients. That's why we'll use drones that deliver medical supplies so that no patient
TYPES OF A DRONE :-
Although there are many types of drones, but they are mainly divided into two parts.
• Rotary Drone
• Fixed Wing Drone
Rotary Drone:-
• There are different types of these rotary drones as well
1. Single Rotor :- It has only one single rotor position. There is a tail rotor at the rear
2. Tricopter :- It has three different types of powerful motors, three controllers, four
3. Quadcopter: – Four rotor blades are used in this. It uses brushless type DC motors. In
this, two motors rotate clockwise, while two motors rotate anti-clockwise. Lithium
4. Hexacopter: – 6 rotor blades are used in these. In which 3 motors rotate clockwise,

-:History of Drones:-
Before discussing about Drone Working Principle we should know about history of Drone/UAV. Drone
was created very first time in by inventor brothers Jacques and Louis Breguet in 1907. In its first flight it
lifted just two feet above the ground. In 1917 Launched only 16 years after the Wright Brothers’
pioneering Kitty Hawk flight, the Ruston Proctor Aerial Target became the first pilotless winged aircraft
in history. It was a radio-controlled pilotless airplane, based on RC technology from the inventor Nikola
Tesla.

DRONE FRAME
Generally speaking, from 180 mm to 250 mm is most popular frame, more bigger one is from 280mm to
800mm even more. There are some suggestions about drone frame size related to Lipo Battery.
Where the drone size i,e, 180,220,280,800 is the wheelbase size and I had done the calculation the drone
size.
Material of a drone:- where a large percentage of the structure today is made from aluminum and
titanium in addition to carbon fiber composites.
Drone Frame Size:- frames are normally measured by the diagonal distance between motors. This
dictates the size of props you can run on any specific quad. Oddly we measure the frame in millimetres
and the props in inches. However, it is common to refer to quads by their prop size.
Shape of drone frame:- A hexacopter is more stable than the quadcopter with its 6 motors.
Half of the motors turn clockwise, and the other half anti-clockwise.
PROPELLER
This often affects the load of the drone, how much load it can lift, how fast it can fly and how much speed
it can manoeuvre around.
Their length can be modified; Tall propellers can easily lift more weight that too at lower rpm but they
Whereas smaller propellers can change their speed easily and hence are more manoeuvrable, but they
require more rotational speed to get the same power as the longer blades.
This puts extra strain on the motor and due to which their lifespan is reduced.
We can say that a more aggressive pitch can certainly provide quicker movement but it reduces the
Typically, a larger diameter propeller blade allows greater contact with the air. This relates directly to
flight efficiency, as a small increase or decrease in diameter can change how efficiently a drone performs
10
drone frame sizes determines the diameter of the propeller, calculate the straight line distance between
two adjacent axes, which is the distance of the AB line in the figure, and the distance of the AB line is just
formula:
Where:-
AB= c
BC= b
CA= a
And the angle is 90
AB + BC = BASEWHEEL VALUE IN MM
AB = BC
We found the size in mm. so we change the size in inch.
1 inch = 25.4mm
The actual propeller diameter cannot be exactly equal to this value, otherwise the two propellers will
fight., so we less 0.5-2 inch in the every value you find
11
A 3 blade propeller usually offers top speed performance while a 4 blade propeller provides maximum
thrust and smooth cruising operation. Four blades have some features of their own, though. They often
provide more lift at the stern which will help accelerate the hull, especially if it is stern heavy.
First of all you have to see in which direction the motor 1 of your Drone is moving, the first motor should
rotate in the clock wise direction. To change the direction of the motor, you can change the direction of
the motor and install it by changing the brushless motor, you have three wires. Any two wires can be
So the four propellers of the drone are fixed and oriented vertically. Each propeller has a variable and
independent speed that allows it to set a full range of movements. Different drones have different
DRONE MOTOR
The most essential item in a drone is the motor. There are two types of motor in use are brought-
1. Brushless motor
2. Servo motor
-: BRUSSLESS MOTOR :-
INTRODUTION :- The full name of BLDC Motor is Brushless Direct Current Motor. As the name
suggests, in this type of motor, no brush is used to conduct electric current in the armature. The electric
current in this type of motor is controlled by an electronic circuit. Therefore it is also called Electronically
Commuted Motor. This electronic circuit is called a controller. The pulse controlled by the controller is
sent to the stator of the motor, which controls the speed and torque of the motor.
Different types of torque can be generated by operating this motor at different speeds. The rotor of a
BLDC motor has a permanent magnet which rotates around a fixed armature. Due to the permanent
magnet in the rotor, there is no need to separately supply current to the rotor.
13
magnet is placed in the stator of a simple brushed motor which produces a magnetic field inside the
motor.
The rotor is placed inside this magnetic field and winding is done on this rotor. When electric current is
passed from outside with the help of brush in this winding, then this rotor becomes an electromagnet and
tries to run away from the magnetic field generated due to permanent magnet and starts moving inside the
stator. is.
The working principle of both a simple brush motor and a Brushless DC motor is the same. The only
difference between the two is that in ordinary brush motor a permanent magnet is placed in the stator to
generate a magnetic field and the armature rotates whereas in a BLDC motor the permanent magnet is
placed in the rotor and the armature is placed in the stator and solid With the help of state electronics
rotor. Since there is a permanent magnet on the rotor, no thermal energy is generated in the rotor.
And it does not even absorb the thermal energy generated in the stator, so it does not heat up.
Inner Rotor design The magnitude of the torque generated in the motor is high.
In this type of motor, the stator is placed in the middle of the rotor and
the stator winding is done in the middle of the rotor. Since the stator is
installed in the middle of the rotor, due to the thermal energy generated
in the stator, the rotor gets heated, due to which the magnetic effect of
the magnet in the rotor is slightly reduced. And for this reason the
1. It does not have a brush, due to which there are no problems caused by brushing.
2. In this, permanent magnet has been used in the rotor, so its efficiency is very good.

SERVO MOTOR
INTRODUCTION :- Servo motor is such an electrical device which Dc motor such that we can
control the motion, torque and velocity,
position from Dc motor and give us
according to our need, in fact Servo
motor, Dc motor and potentiometer. The
combo is where the poentiometer is used
as a position sensor, the maximum speed
of each servo motor is fixed but we can
use the Varspeed servo library in Arduino
to control the speed of the servo motor. If
we are using microcontroller then we can
get any servo motor position angle output
from servo motor we get 360 degree
torque of any Dc motor is very low but
from servo motor we get very high torque
Which is 2kg, 4kg, 8kg etc. If we hack the
servo motor or say that by opening the
servo motor and removing the safty part
from its gears, then the servo motor can
also give continuous rotation.is a modified form of
servo motor usage we can use the servo motor according to its type, such as to make the positional
rotation servo a robotic arm, to control the helicopter directionally, etc in the CNC machine and similarly,
the continuous rotation servo can also be used in such a place. Let's take where there is always a need for
HIGH TORQUE and continuous rotation like in making toy tank and toy car and linear rotation servo is
used according to this type, we also have to open and close our doors and windows automaticlly. can take

Servo motors are made by combining a normal motor with some other components. The following
components are required to make a normal motor a servo motor:-
• AC or DC motor
• Potentiometer
• Gear System
• Controlling Circuit.
Firstly, the gear system is used to slow down the speed of the motor and increase the torque. Gear box is
also called reduction box. This reduction box is first attached to the shaft of the motor.
The main function of this reduction box is to reduce the speed (RPM) of the motor. Due to the decrease in
the speed of the motor, its torque increases. The shaft of the reduction box is connected to what is called
an Encoder or Potentiometer.
This encoder is connected to the controlling circuit and electrical power is fed to the motor with the help
of controlling circuit. That means the control circuit is again connected to the motor. In this way
19
the four parts mentioned above together form a closed loop. That's why it is said that Servo Motor works
Like we have learned above, Servo Motor is a special purpose motor which is made to perform a
particular task. For example, suppose an object is to be rotated by an angle of 60 degrees. For this, first
the control circuit will be signaled to rotate 60 degrees from the mircocontroller or Arduino and according
to this signal, the control circuit will connect the motor to the electrical supply to run, so that the motor
As the shaft of the motor completes a 60 degree angle, the encoder or potentiometer attached to the shaft
of the motor will indicate this movement and again give a signal to the control circuit that the motor shaft
has completed 60 degree rotation and now You disconnect it from the main supply and as soon as this
signal is received, the Control Circuit will continue to disconnect the motor from the main supply until it
1. POSITION ROTATION SERVO MOTOR :-In this type of servo motor, the
rotation is from 0-360 but only once it stops after taking its position like if we have given servo
write 300 in Arduino, then by coming to the position of 30 degree. servo motor will be turned off
and removing the safty part from its gears, then the servo motor can also give continuous rotation.
20
To control the servo motor, we can use the Arduino microcontroller board, we can take the
maximum voltage up to 6v for the servo motor. To control the servo motor from the Arduino, we
connect the servo's yallow wire to the Arduino's pwm pins, Connect the brown color wire to the
Arduino's gnd and the red color wire to 5v, to control the servo motor, this article has already been
written, you can read them in which a servo can be connected to the mouse and keyboard of the
computer There is also an article to control, to control the speed of servo motor, I am going to write
an article on VARSPEEDSERVO soon, with the help of which we will be able to control the speed of
servo also.
The most important part of your Drone is the brushless dc motor, there are four screws with these, you
have to connect them to the frame with a screw driver, tighten them in the frame and apply super glue, if
there is ever a vibrarion, then it should not come out, do not tighten too much. The bolt starts touching the
We will use servo motor to put the camera in it so that the camera is free to move in any direction because
with the help of servo motor we can move the camera up, down, left, right in any direction so that we The
camera will not face any problem in movement and with the help of transmitter receiver, we will be able
to move the camera in any direction, with the help of servo motor, our drone will be of only use of servo
motor.

It is an electronic circuit that increases or decreases the speed of an electric motor as needed, or helps to
maintain a certain speed as needed. Along with this, the electronic speed controller can also act to make
the motor rotate in the opposite direction or apply brakes on it (stopping its speed suddenly). Small size
ESC i.e. electronic speed controller will be of 30 amps which can power your four Brush less Dc motors
This type of controller is required to run bldc motor bldc motor is used in making drone bldc motor runs
There is a pwm controller circuit inside the esc, whose job is to make different pulses and send it to the
bldc motor, its speed is controlled by the pwm circuit, it can also be called an inverter circuit. By
triggering three phase supply sends to bldc motor pwm circuit triggers dc current to make ac current
triggering these mosfet is done by audriuno microcontroller that when to trigger which mosfet.
There are three pins in the esc and the three pins in the bldc motor are connected to these pins
and out of the remaining three pins in the esc, two pins are connected to the lipo battery ie lithium
polymer battery.
And the remaining one pin which goes directly to the microcontroller, it is also called the control pin, in
some esc controller a supply is given to the servo motor from these controller pins.
• This bldc motor should use more amp's esc controller circuit than the amps it takes in normal
condition.

FLIGHT CONTROLLER
A flight controller is a device that controls your drone as soon as it has sensors such as accelero-meter
sensor, gyroscope sensor, etc., which detects the tilt and rotation, like if your drone is leaning towards
some side, then it is the speed of the motor on that side. The big will give so that the drone will become

Receiver and transmitter make Drone wireless. Receiver and transmitter make the drone wireless, the
As its name implies, the general purpose of a transmitter is to transmit signals. These signals contain
information, which can be audio, video, or data. In essence, a transmitter launches signals into the air via
a transmitting antenna.
DEFINITION :-
In electronics and telecommunications, a transmitter or radio transmitter is an electronic device
that produces waves with the aid of an antenna. In addition to their use in broadcasting,
transmitters are essential component parts of many electronic devices that transmit by radio,
such as cell phones, wireless computer networks, Bluetooth enabled devices, garage door
openers, aircraft, ships, and spacecraft. One way radio, radar set and navigation beacons. The
hearing device part of a telephone is the receiver.
The handset which sometimes contains the device and also the headset (audio) which may also

DIFFERENCE
The main difference between a transmitter and a receiver is that a transmitter collects and decodes
information and the receiver displays the information in an audible and/or visual form that consumers can
see or hear. The best-known and oldest inventions to use this system are radios.
APPLICATION
In many devices that implement radio electronics technology, transmitter and receiver work together to
emit both sound and visual to consumers. The transmitter is usually composed of an oscillator, a
modulator, and separate amplifiers for both radio and audio frequencies.This allows the device to transmit
both audible and visible waves. In most areas, the use of transmitters is regulated because improper use
music on the radio and both hear sound and view visuals on television. Today, digital technology is
replacing more older devices with better and clearer sound and images. To receive digital signals,
however, consumers must have a digital transmitter and receiver or a device that they have.

start up and with the second joystick you can do it left-right Then when you lower the throttle to bring
down your drone and if you lower it below 50%, your drone will come down and touch the ground,
then lower the entire throttle, then the drone will land.

2. To operate the drone, first turn on the transmitter and then power the drone on.
3. To turn off, first disconnect the lipo from the drone then turn off the transmitter
7. Charge the lipo when you are near it and see if its temperature is not increasing
9. If your drone is using a lithium-power battery, use it sparingly in cold environments. Because
in extreme cold it has a negative effect on the battery and the battery gets discharged quickly.
10. On the other hand, even if the heat is high, the drone should not be flown for long. Because
the motor has to do more work to generate lift in the hot area, due to which its battery gets
discharged soon. So after use, leave the battery to cool down first and then charge again.
11. If the wind is high, don't fly the drone. Because doing so will require more energy to stabilize
the drone, as well as increase the chances of an accident. So fly it only in a calm environment.
12. If it is raining or there is a humid climate, do not fly the drone at all. Because the flying time of
13. If your drone has guards, then they protect it from damage during an accident, but at the same
time increase the weight of the drone. So when you get experienced in flying it, then definitely
14. Do not fly the drone at high speed for a long time. Because by doing this its battery gets
discharged quickly. Also, if you do not want to use it for some time, then keep it only after fully
charging the battery. Store it in a dry and ventilated area at room temperature only.
15. Do not add unnecessary add-ons to the drone. Use only those add-ons you need.
APPLICATIONS OF A DRONE
For Military Surveillance – Drones were first made only for military use. Drones were first used
in the 1940s by the British and US military to spy on axis power. Today's UAVs are much more advanced
than the earlier UAVs. In the military, they are used to get accurate information about the enemy during
the war. In such a situation, there is no danger of the pilot's life and espionage and guarding can be done
During Live Event – For the past few years, drones are being used more for capturing live events.
They are being used more for live recording of politicians' speeches, concerts and sports. Drones can
provide audiences with a view that is not possible with any other technology.
Survey of Dangerous Areas – With the advent of drones, it has become much easier to explore
such areas which are quite dangerous for humans. For example, geologists can easily complete their jobs
by reaching the unique and dangerous parts of the earth. Sometimes large organisations, such as NASA
also depend on satellite footage to survey the dangerous parts of the earth.
For Home Delivery Services – Nowadays drones are being used by big companies to deliver
products to their customers. The drones used for such business are capable of carrying more weight. For

example, in some countries drones are used for home delivery of pizza. These large size pizzas can also
For Law Enforcement – This is the best use of Drones. It is used by the police to locate the
hidden criminal or terrorist. Also, it proves to be most useful for planning when the terrorist has kept
people captive at a particular location. Apart from this, if needed, the police can also shoot anyone with
To monitor wildlife – Due to the increasing danger and threat to the wildlife population, humans
are very concerned about their conservation and protection. The top priority of organizations working in
this field is to keep an eye on them. Here drones are a better way for these organizations to keep an eye on
To Monitor Traffic – Due to the simplicity, mobility and ability to cover large areas, the drone is
used for traffic monitoring. They are used for traffic guidance, traffic activity analysis, identification and
tracking of individual vehicles, reading license plates, etc. In these, HD and thermal cameras are used for
driving license. Just like a car, your drone needs to be registered with the government and is issued with a
Just as no registration certificate and license is required to operate the cycle, similarly "nano" and "micro"
drones (toys weighing less than 2 kg) are exempt from such rules.
available in the market, which include drones that can achieve altitudes ranging from 1 km to 6 km.
Regulations have also been made for the height at which the drone has to be flown. In India, you can fly
the drone at a maximum altitude of 400 feet. Also like I told you earlier that license is required for this.
Green Zone.
Drones are not allowed to fly in the Red Zone. The Red Zone includes the airspace around airports,
international borders, military installation, etc. Also, flying drones is not allowed in Delhi around
Flying a drone in the same yellow zone requires the filing of a flight plan and an air defense clearance
certificate. Whereas in the Green Zone you can fly a drone anywhere.
