Abstract
The primary lack in the multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is unstable platform while flying, which might affect the usage of UAVs. The existing solution methodology for this lack is to increase the propellers has capable to provide more amount of thrust, which supports the stable platform while in the surveillance. Increase the propellers may chance to decrease the operational efficiency of the Hexacopter so in this paper suggested the alternate efficient method. This article recommended the Hexacopter attached with inclined arms, which has high stable platform than the Hexacopter with straight connecting arms. Comparison of these two cases have been completed using numerical simulation also optimization of inclined angle of connecting arms is done with the help of ANSYS Workbench 17.2 in which the physical model is designed by using CATIA V5. As an outcome of this simulation work is efficient Hexacopter, which capable to provide good aerial images for long range applications with low cost.
