EVTOL concept design

Abstract

This master thesis consists of a research and development project¿s documentation about Electrical Vertical Take off and Landing (EVTOL) technology. The main target is providing an investigation about this technology, reviewing its history since its origins to the future lines, understanding how it works by revising all the technical aspects such as the mechanical part, hardware components, software systems, structural stress design¿ In addition, a market study is carried out around this technology to come up with a first prototype. Based on a research for the applications and utilities that it can offer regarding the future problems that humanity is facing. Furthermore, this thesis documents the analog and digital methodologies that are being used throughout the entire creative process combining design and engineering workflows in order to achieve the proposed objectives. The project¿s value resides on the creative design aspect, therefore all the content is based from the pre-production design perspective. As the most technical part involving the product production such as the stress design aspect to select the right components, or quality validation process would be carried out on further stages by the engineers.
