Sumit Sharma

Sumit Sharma has rich experience in Unmanned systems with specialization in Drones architecture development and testing for different applications. He is experienced in Drone Mechanics, Avionics, Design and manufacturing. In his early career, he was involved in the development and testing of the first approved agriculture drone and later getting it approved by the DGCA. Along with this, he has contributed to the development of a Survey drone for Aerial Surveys. He was also involved in the development of high speed and long range surveillance drones for defence tenders. Sumit has been involved in early agriculture spraying pilot projects and was a part of Aerial Spraying on the Locust which hit Rajasthan in 2020.

Summary

In this chapter, we have studied the technical terminologies of the aerodynamics and forces that are helpful in steady flight. We have also studied the physics behind the working of the quadcopter and also derived the necessary formulas for the same. By learning this, you can design your own quad or hexacopter. We have seen the necessary engineering behind the quadcopter to achieve the necessary forces to drive it. We are now well-versed in working with and understanding the quadcopter.

In the next chapter, we will study each component of the copter more thoroughly, understanding what the key specifications of the components are, why they are used, how to conceptualize a system, and what the other parts of the system are.
