UROP Proceeding 2023-24

School of Engineering Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 162 Ambular: An Emergency Response Drone Supervisor: LI Larry / MAE Student: KIM Song Hyun / AE Course: UROP 3200, Fall UROP 4100, Summer The continuous development of VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) vehicles is creating new applications and opportunities across multiple fields. Drones represent the most prominent example and are currently the most widely used type of VTOL technology across industries. While most contemporary drones are small and designed for lightweight applications, there is growing development of larger drones capable of handling heavier loads. The AMBULAR drone exemplifies this trend, specifically designed to rapidly transport patients from any location to the nearest hospital. This UROP project builds upon previous research on a new fuselage design for the AMBULAR drone. The focus of this report is twofold: documenting the redesign process of the previously tested fuselage and outlining future steps for the modified design. Through systematic analysis and iterative improvements, this research contributes to the advancement of emergency medical drone technology, bringing us closer to a future where rapid aerial medical transport becomes a reliable lifesaving solution.
