Abstract

This paper shows a methodology for the design and construction of an aircraft type Quadcopter. To do so, we describe the aerodynamic effects that often are presented in such vehicles, the mechanical considerations for the construction of the same and the instrumentation required for its operation. Also we are shown the criteria to be considered for the implementation of the PID controller and the results obtained from the application of the same to stabilize the Quadrotor in its vertical. Similarly, it shows the flight time obtained with the selected instrumentation for the vehicle.
