Abstract
Fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)s are designed to combine the advantages of multi-rotor UAVs and fixed-wing UAVs in different flight phases in a single UAV. Fixed-wing VTOL UAVs can achieve the mobility of multi-rotor UAVs in hovering, vertical take-off and landing flight phases. Since fixed-wing UAVs are known for their efficiency in power consumption, fixed-wing VTOL UAVs were created to efficiently perform the cruise phase of the flight for a similar reason. In this paper, we made the conceptual design of a fixed-wing VTOL UAV which is called “DOGA”. The mission of DOGA is to carry 0.5 kg. payload. Firstly, maximum take-off weight was calculated, and then the airfoil profile, wings geometry, and the propulsion systems were determined. Also, design and performance parameters of DOGA were calculated. As a result, conceptual design of DOGA was completed and all the needed parameters for the detail design of the fixed-wing VTOL UAV were derived.
