Özet
In this study, the static analysis and manufacturing of a quadcopter type small unmanned aerialvehicle (UAV) design compatible with landing platforms was performed by using the finite elementmethod. In static analysis, the weight of the quadcopter body is considered as the load and the base isfixed. Each part of the quadcopter used in the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is manufactured withAcrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polyactic Acid (PLA) materials with a thickness of 0.05mm with i3 prusa printer. As a result of the structural analysis, the stress produced in the quadcopterchassis produced from ABS material was 0,053 MPa and the stress on the quadcopter frame producedfrom PLA material was calculated as 0,065 MPa. In addition, the deformation in the quadcopter frameproduced from ABS material was 0,014 mm, while the quadcopter frame produced from PLA materialwas 0,010 mm.
