This chapter covers the following design disciplines which work in parallel within a UAV design project: aerodynamic design; structural design; propulsion system design; power transmission system design; mechanical system design; and control surfaces design. The structural designer will determine flight loads, calculate stresses, and design structural elements such as to allow the UAV components to perform their aerodynamic functions efficiently. This goal is considered simultaneously with the objective of the lowest structural weight. In the design of airframe, several factors such as ultimate load, aerodynamic loads (pressure distribution), weight loads (e.g., fuel and engine), weight distribution, gust load, load factor, propulsion loads, landing loads (e.g., brake) and aero‐elasticity effects must be considered. It is a fundamental duty of any UAV chief designer to ensure that the design is safe, and all major systems/components are away from failure.
