Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicle technologies have gained serious momentum in recent years. Despite these developments, the production of a UAV still requires expensive equipment. Recently, with the developments in rapid prototyping technologies, some researchers printed and flew 3D printed UAVs, successfully. In this study, we investigate the possibility of using 3D printer technology for the manufacturing of a 3.8-m wingspan hybrid UAV. It has been observed that it is possible to manufacture bigger UAVs with this approach, which is promising in making the production of UAVs accessible to the general public.
