Abstract

Nowadays, aircraft business is million dollar business, because there are a lot of aircraft companies in modern countries such as United States, Russia, Frances, etc. One of the well-known companies is Diamond, a company which just setup, yet this company has been growing fast. In order to provide as a stepping stone in local aircraft design and fabrication business, this project is created. The objectives of the project are to design a low speed high wing aircraft using X-Plane maker software, flight performance analysis and follow by the 3D model aircraft using X-Plane simulation by the author's project partner, fabrication of the remotely piloted aircraft, and actual flight test and evaluation of the aircraft prototype. In this entire project, it shows from the initial design to the final stage which is fabrication of the aircraft prototype. The project was carried out initially by gathering all the required information on aircraft designing and fabrication. Then, the calculation and justification of the aircraft design is done by the author. In order to verify the design is correct, all the parameters are entered into flight simulation software to prove it. After the software has proved that the design is successfully flown in the software, the fabrication of the prototype is built as shown in later section and the detail will be discussed as well. Then, flight test and modification had been carried out to ensure the prototype can fly, which is shown in later section. Finally, the prototype had successfully takeoff.
