Spring Drive UAV Launcher

Abstract

This paper presents the spring drive launcher for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or UAV. Due to the absence that the UAV required large area for taking-off. However, to achieve the solution for this problem, we design spring drive launcher to bring the UAV up to the sky. The launcher allows the user to exceed the limit of take-off area and gives the highest initial velocity as possible. The research consists of the related theories which are Mechanical design, Engineering drawing, and Aerodynamic principles. Spring Drive launcher will be assembled by basic materials that must be made in order to get the prototype to be tested for achieving the goal. The results of the launcher will generate the constant force exerting on the launched UAV so it will reduce the risks for launching UAV multiple times. Besides the research can be carried on for the one who has the interest on the Spring Drive launcher.
