PROJETO E CONSTRUÇÃO DE AERONAVE DE VOO VERTICAL

Abstract

The construction and analysis of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, inspired by the design of the F-35 Lightning, stood out for the harmonious integration of mechanical and electronic advances, reaching a high level of aerodynamic efficiency and flight control. The use of the ESP32 microcontroller and the MPU6050 accelerometer was decisive in overcoming stabilization and orientation challenges, essential in vertical flight dynamics. The careful selection of materials, with emphasis on Depron, offered an optimal balance between lightness and resistance, crucial for aerial performance. Meticulous assembly and choice of components, such as the PCA9685 module for effective distribution of commands to the servo motors and brushless motors, ensured powerful propulsion and precise flight control. The project faced significant challenges, especially in the calibration of electronic systems and integration of flight controls, but the successful implementation of advanced technical solutions resulted in quality testing. The solution to the calibration problems of the MPU6050 accelerometer, crucial for stability, and the efficient integration of the ESC, fundamental for controlling the engines, together with the precision in the selection and adjustment of the propellers, highlighted the complexity and the need for precision in aerospace development . This project not only achieved its goals of creating the innovative VTOL aircraft, but also paved the way for future research and development in the UAV sector, demonstrating the applicability of advanced engineering techniques and contributing significantly to the advancement of unmanned aerial vehicle technology.
