the UAV is expected to be provided.
2.2.Body and Mechanical Systems
Under this heading, information about the design of the UAV's chassis, structural and
mechanical systems should be given. Instead of using a ready-made system chassis and body,
the methods and activities performed for the original design should be explained in this section,
explicitly. Mechanical details of the motion control elements, flight control mechanisms, landing
gear and similar components should be given.
In addition, technical drawings should be given, and necessary explanations should be made
7
for the requirements listed below. The following details should be given in accordance with the
technical drawing standards:
- Three (front, right and top) view and perspective view drawings (scaled)
- Structural configuration drawings
- System layout (equipment, internal and external placement of components)
2.3.Aerodynamic, Stability and Control Features
It is necessary to determine the UAV requirements, to make aerodynamic analysis showing
that these requirements are met, and to present the results by including supportive graphics.
The method of obtaining aerodynamic properties such as transport, drag, and moment should
be explained. For example, wing or propeller selection, analytical/experimental/numerical
variation graphs of aerodynamic coefficients with relevant angles and coefficients can be
given.
In addition, the stability analysis results of the fixed or rotary wing UAV should be given and
the UAV should be shown to have stable flight. It should be shown that the UAV motion control
elements are properly designed and manufactured, and relevant details should be given.
2.4.Task Mechanism System
Under this heading, the representation of the task mechanism elements, the transfer of
design/manufacturing visuals and dimensions are important in terms of technical control.
Teams entering the technical control before the competition with a mechanism different from
the task mechanism stated in the report will be eliminated. In addition, it should be taken into
consideration that mechanisms that do not meet the functional requirements stated in the rule
booklet cannot pass technical control.
2.5.Electrical Electronic Control and Power Systems
Under this heading, detailed information such as detailed architecture, design, drawing should
be given about the electrical, electronic, control and power systems of the fixed or rotary wing
UAV. For example, control and wiring diagram, power and fuse wiring diagram, actuators
(servo), motors and other components' characteristics should be given. It is expected that the
method, steps and relevant details for the autonomous execution of the flight - mission will also
be given.
2.6.Target Detection and Recognition System
Under this heading, information should be given about the architecture of the system,
components used, sensors, hardware, software, algorithms etc. in order to recognize and
detect the load release area of the fixed or rotary wing UAV (mission-oriented). Informations
such as camera, processor, and the image processing method should be explained.

2.7.Flight Performance Parameters
Under this heading, it is expected that the flight - mission performance calculations of the fixed
or rotary wing UAV, with different missions, will be given with tables and graphics. It is expected
that informations such as required power details, battery capacity requirement calculation,
determination of battery capacity, stall speed, maximum speed, hovering time, turning radius
of the UAV and maneuvering performance will be given.
Performance criteria are the values that enable us to measure and evaluate the success of the
prototype UAV based on numerical data. “Total Flight Weight (kg)” can be given as an example
performance criterion. This criterion is also a design constraint. Because it is limited to a
maximum of 4 kg. Another performance criterion can be given as "Task-1 Completion Time
(sec.)" or "Mission-2 Target Accuracy (%)". Many performance criteria can be defined on the
complex design and multidisciplinary structure of an UAV.
2.8.UAV Cost Distribution
Under this heading, a list of the quantities and costs of materials and equipment used in the
design of a fixed or rotary wing UAV should be given. For this purpose, a representation to be
prepared according to the product distribution tree approach (as seen in Table-1) should be
given.

2.9.Originality
Under this heading, teams are expected to state their work within the scope of originalty. The
evidential information of originally developed parts will be stated in this section. If the teams
do not have a work within the scope of originalty, they can pass by writing "There is no work
within the scope of originalty" under this heading.

3.DETAILED DESIGN VIDEO SHOOTING
After the test flights are completed, when the UAV is ready for flight, a video in mp4 format of
the fixed or rotary wing UAV should be shot and uploaded to an online video platform.
Team videos should be made up of two parts: a flight video (max. 2 minutes) and a
presentation video (max. 8 minutes). These videos should be combined so that the first part to
play will be the flight video and followed by the presentation video. Combined video should be
uploaded to an online video platform as a single video, not exceeding 10 minutes in total.
3.1.Flight Video
Take-off images of the UAV,
Horizontal endless loop flight maneuver,
The recording of the UAV landing must be in a continuous state.
The design of the UAVs must be recorded from a distance that can be easily
distinguished and must have a suitable resolution.
The UAV design in the flight video and the UAV design given in the Detailed Design
Report must be the same.
The detailed design report and video of the teams that show a failed flight in the flight
video and/or without the flight video prepared in line with the rules will not be evaluated
and will be disqualified from the competition. Therefore, special attention should be
paid to the flight videos.
3.2.Presentation Video
In order to complement the written reports of the teams, the following titles including
the introductory information on the team and UAV are required to be explained within
the video.
The video titles are necessary to facilitate the evaluation of the presentation video, and
your content shots for the relevant titles are not limited to reveal the talent of the teams.
It is important to shoot high quality videos in high resolution by paying attention to the
location of the light source in video shooting, for the evaluation of videos.
Each title should be explained in the order given below in the video, and while the
related titles are being explained, the title in the video should be specified with a
subtitle.
Although there is no limit to the time you can devote to each topic, the presantation
video should not exceed a maximum of 8 minutes.
The minimum requirements expected from the contents of the titles that need to be told
10
are written under the relevant heading, and the issues you see important in the videos
you will shoot can be determined by the team and explained in the video.
