Abstract :
The current use of unmanned aircraft is needed both for military and
civilian purposes such as for searching and rescuing victims of natural disasters,
remote sensing such as aerial photography, forest monitoring, traffic monitoring
and border monitoring needs. Therefore the author tries to manufacture UAV
Sunbird Electric Glider aircraft, Sunbird Electric Glider aircraft are UAV
aircraft that are designed or made for regional mapping, aerial photography, and
air traffic monitoring
The Sunbird Electric Glider aircraft manufacturing method begins with
design data, making kit patterns, cutting kits, and assembling kit parts, the type of
material used on Sunbird Electric Glider UAV aircraft is balsa wood, carbon tube
for leading edge, and film cover on skin.
After production, UAV Sunbird Electric Gider was produced and
evaluated with the original design form of the Sunbird Electric Glider UAV
aircraft and looking for validation of differences in production. From the
assembly results it can be concluded that the UAV Sunbird Electric Glider
aircraft is the same as the design form of the UAV Sunbird Electric Glider aircraft
with a percentage difference of 2.5% of the wing span, 0.6% of the fuselage
length, and 16% of the overall weight of the Sunbird Electric Glider UAV aircraft.
