Table 4. Thrust generation of CFD

Ductless Propeller

Ducted Propeller

Percentage Increase

13.8451 N 29.4% As we can conclude from the results shown in Table 4, the ducted propeller showed higher thrust as compared to the single ductless propeller. The increase in thrust was found to be 29.4%. 7. Conclusion This paper represents design, development, and analysis of the drone which is optimized for the delivery of first aid kit and medical supplies during natural calamities. The structural analysis confirms that the drone can withstand the stress developed under the given payload and manoeuvres, maintaining lightweight and reliable design. Modal and harmonic analysis ensures that no resonance occurs during the flight. The integration of additive manufacturing in drone manufacturing paves a way for research in UAV technology Thus, the drone was successfully manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques resulting in rapid customization and production. 19.6073 N
