Abstract :
The FAST X-4 Surveillance UAV is an aircraft designed to fly at moderate speed and used for aerial photography, land mapping, and can be used to monitor an area by air. UAV surveillance uses an electric engine or is called brushless direct current, namely a 3 phase motor that uses a propeller as a driver and battery as a power source. On a UAV the range and endurance are an important component because with range and endurance you can find out maximum flying ability. Therefore, analysis and calculations to find out. The steps to go through before calculating range and endurance are: determining aircraft dimensions, aircraft weight, then calculating speed and battery consumption as a power source. After that, carry out a test flight for obtain the range and endurance of UAV aircraft. In this study the speed (v) of the aircraft is 12 m/s, the weight of the aircraft (W) of 36.1 N, the initial charge (Q0) and the final charge (Q1) of the battery are equal to 2,640 mAh and 1,320 mAh. The aircraft produces a theoretical range (R) of 7,212.86 m and R in field testing of 5000 m, and produces a theoretical endurance (E) of 601.35 s and E during field tests amounting to 383 s. Thus the theoretical results are greater than when tested in field because during testing it experienced many obstacles such as changes wind direction and speed. The FAST X-4 UAV surveillance aircraft is an aircraft that can fly stably and well for similar aircraft because It has moderate speed and is easy to control.
