This project focuses on the design and simulation of an autonomous quadcopter drone with an aerodynamic fuselage and four-arm rotor configuration. The main objective is to develop a stable and efficient unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of controlled flight, waypoint navigation, and payload support through a virtual simulation environment before physical implementation. The drone is designed with a lightweight streamlined body to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve flight performance. It includes four brushless motors with propellers, landing skids, and an internal compartment for the battery, controller, and payload systems. The project uses a dynamic flight control simulation combined with motion and aerodynamic analysis. The simulation is implemented using MATLAB/Simulink with UAV Toolbox and PID-based flight control algorithms. The model simulates six degrees of freedom (6-DOF), including roll, pitch, yaw, altitude, and 3D movement. The simulation aims to: Analyze flight stability and dynamic response. Design and tune PID controllers for attitude and position control. Simulate autonomous navigation between predefined waypoints. Evaluate thrust distribution and drone motion during takeoff, hovering, trajectory tracking, and landing. Test the aerodynamic body design under different operating conditions. Validate system performance before real-world manufacturing and testing. The simulation can also include environmental disturbances such as wind effects and payload variations to improve the reliability and robustness of the control system. The final goal is to achieve a stable and optimized drone model suitable for surveillance, delivery, and research applications.
