Abstract

The presented work focuses on the design and analysis of a tandem-rotor unmanned helicopter. The paper highlights the aerodynamic and structural advantages of the tandem configuration, which offers high lifting capacity, improved stability, and enhanced maneuverability compared to conventional rotorcraft or quadcopter systems. The proposed UAV employs lightweight composite materials and an electric propulsion system to achieve energy efficiency and low noise. Equipped with an integrated flight control unit and modular payload system, it is designed for logistics, rescue, and surveillance operations in complex environments. The study concludes that the tandem configuration can significantly improve the operational flexibility and reliability of unmanned aerial platforms in both civilian and defense applications.
