As one of the options for last-mile delivery transportation, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) shall be designed according to its operation objectives. This Final Project covers the conceptual design phase of delivery drone for last-mile delivery in Indonesia, that consists of determining the design requirements & objectives, the geometry and all the components used in the system. Each of the criteria needs to be validated with the current available data and analysis. Moreover, comparable data from delivery drone design that has been operated around the world is used in the design process. This design is visualized in a 3D model computed with Solidworks 2019. Conceptual design in this Final Project used Quality Functional Deployment (QFD) method to choose the configuration. QFD made the design parameters trade-off easier. Then, initial sizing and analyses conducted by referring to the QFD matrix. This resulted in delivery drone design that can achieved the Design Requirements & Objectives (DR&O). The conceptual design of UAS has a fixed-wing VTOL configuration (hybrid) with twin boom and inverted V-tail. The design can achieve 30 km range in only 33 minutes for distributing medical supplies in remote areas in Indonesia, such as West Papua. This shows a good result, fulfills the requirements and exceeds the objectives. However, the detail design process needs to be done for a more optimized drone design. Besides, each assumption and trade-off should be re-evaluated in many ways, such as experiment, parametric studies, and other analysis.
