Wing aspect ratio: 6
Wing width : 10 cm
wing Surface area: 600 cm sq
Tail plane aspect ratio: 3
tailplane area : 3*(tail plane chord )sq.
Tail chord: 6.324 cm
Tail span: 18.97
Radar height : 7.3 cm

Radar width (up) : 3 cm
Light weight materials like thermocol along with corrugated plastics and balsa wood
was used for making ailerons and body of aircraft..
C.G was balanced by low density aluminum rod inserted in the wing span so that air-
craft weight can be balanced by wings during flight.
Elevators , ailerons and rudder were controlled by thin strip wires connected to servo
motors. Air-craft body is streamlined to resist air resistance.
Materials and design aspect
Flight Dynamics
The yaw allows the airplane to move towards the left or right while in flight.
The pitch refers to the movement of the airplane's nose either up or down.
Roll is known as the rising or dipping of the airplane's wing
PROPELLERS
A propeller is a type of fan that transmits power by
converting rotational motion into thrust.
SIMULATION
Simulation is the imitation of some real thing, state of affairs,
or process. The act of simulating representing certain key
characteristics or behaviour something generally entails of a
selected physical or abstract system.
GYROSCOPE
A gyroscope is a device for
measuring or maintaining
orientation, based on the
principles of conservation of
angular momentum. In
essence, a mechanical
gyroscope is a spinning wheel
or disk whose axle is free to
take any orientation
GYROSCOPIC PRINCIPLE
In aircraft instruments gyros are
used in attitude, compass and turn
coordinators. These instruments
contain a wheel or rotor rotating at
a high RPM which gives it two
important properties, rigidity and
precession.
ELECTRONIC GYROSCOPE
We will use electronic gyro. in the
plane to attain auto-controlled
stability .Flight can be achieved
even in bad weather
condition(wind). Wing balance can
be maintained.
Gyro with controller will be
used to control the servo
motors in our plane to
handle pitch ,yawn and roll
movements.
•Combat applications like during warfare.
•Natural calamities like floods, earthquakes.
•Study of in-accesible areas.
•Topographical survey of places
•Geographic study of nature and its elements.
