Preliminary Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UA V) for Petroleum Pipe Monitoring System

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or UA V has been designed by numerous inventors due to its
importance in multiple industries. One major usage of UA V nowadays is for
surveillance. This report basically discusses the progress done on the chosen topic, which
is Preliminary Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UA V) for Petroleum Pipe
Monitoring sYSTEM. The basic idea of this project is the design work. An Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAV; also known as a remotely piloted vehicle or RPV, or Unmanned
Aircraft System (UAS)) is an aircraft that flies without a human crew on board the
aircraft. The purpose of this project is to learn all the aspects of designing the
preliminary design of UA V specifically for the use in monitoring the petroleum pipe
system, onshore and offshore. So, the methodology for this project is more on designing
the UA V by determining and investigating its specification that fulfill the need for that
particular purpose. The scope of work for semester one final year project is to research
more about UAV preliminary design that suitable for monitoring petroleum pipe system;
both offshore and offshore. Other than that is investigating the suitable criteria and
specifications as the factor that need to be considered for designing and drawing the
final configuration. The second part of the project will covers the analysis of both
aerodynamics and performance for the designed UAV. It also involved the final drawing
ofthe UA V using AutoCAD 2008 according to its specifications. The objective of
studies had been achieved upon the completion of the project.
