Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design and fabricate a lightweight small scale Aerostatic craft by using lightweight material. A lightweight material such as plastic or Styrofoam might be able to reduce the weight of the craft. It also can reduce the tendency for the accident occurred and reduced the power used to operate the Aerostatic Craft. The motor, battery, propeller diameter, ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), servo, transmitter and receiver were selected for this purpose. The weight of the small Aerostatic Craft was set at 1 kg maximum. The revolutions-per-minute (RPM), power, torque and efficiency were determined accordingly.
