In this paper, the design and construction of a radio-controlled airplane that is propelled using distributed electric propulsion (DEP) is studied. The airplane, named Persian Sky-O, is a part of the Persian Sky program, whose focus is on the design, development, and construction of all-electric civil aircraft using high-efficiency, innovative technologies. Persian Sky-O includes six propellers installed along the wings and powered by high-efficiency electric motors. An existing model airplane using some modifications is considered as the base of the project. The ground and flight tests are performed, and a testbed is developed which can be used for any model airplane in a proper size. The development of Persian Sky-O can help the study of distributed electric propulsion in real conditions with more safety and lower cost.
