Design and prototyping of UAVs with deployable structures, underwater quadcopter : acquaflyer

A specific type of Unmanned Ariel Vehicles (UAV) has been gaining popularity over the years. This UAV is classified as quadcopters. A quadcopter is easily recognised by its cross-shaped frame and four motors fitted with propellers. This project seeks to identify, design and build a new quadcopter UA...
