Abstract

The article presents the stages of creating a flying laboratory for the study of power plants based on a light unmanned aerial vehicle from the development of a layout to the manufacture of a glider. At the same time, a description of three developed variants of unmanned aerial vehicles is given and the calculated aerodynamic characteristics of the airframe, traction and economic characteristics of the power plant and trajectory flight parameters are demonstrated. At the airframe design stage, technological operations and materials used for the manufacture of its main elements are disclosed, as well as images of some technological stages of assembly are presented.
