Custom UAV Design & Development Services.
AVIOX supports UAV programs from feasibility and preliminary aircraft design through aerodynamics, CAD and manufacturing-oriented engineering. Work can cover conventional fixed-wing UAVs, flying wings, VTOL aircraft, multirotors and specialized aircraft built in FDM 3D printing, CFRP composites or hybrid construction.
Flying-wing UAV design
Tailless aircraft require dedicated treatment of airfoils, twist, lift distribution, CG range, control authority and stability. AVIOX has substantial practical experience with large flying-wing UAV programs.
Flying-wing engineering →VTOL & multirotor development
Concept engineering for lift+cruise VTOL, tailsitter configurations, quadrotors and other multirotor aircraft, including propulsion sizing, packaging, transition constraints and fixed-wing integration where applicable.
VTOL & multirotor development →3D-printed & CFRP UAV design
Aircraft geometry and structures adapted to real manufacturing methods: FDM 3D printing, CFRP composite construction, CNC, wood and hybrid designs, with attention to segmentation, assembly, tooling and production constraints.
FDM & CFRP aircraft design →Aircraft configurations
Experience across different UAV architectures.
Endurance, range and payload-driven aircraft with conventional or unconventional layouts.
Tailless aircraft with integrated aerodynamic, stability and structural design.
Lift+cruise, tailsitter and other configurations that combine vertical operation with wing-borne flight.
Quadrotor and multirotor concepts where hover capability and compact operation are central requirements.
Engineering scope
From concept to manufacturable aircraft.
Projects do not need to start with a complete specification. An early phase can be used to determine whether the requested payload, range, endurance, speed, manufacturing method and operational constraints are mutually compatible. Once the concept is credible, the work can progress into aerodynamic layout, aircraft geometry and detailed design.
Typical technical tasks
- mission and requirement analysis
- preliminary aircraft sizing, MTOW and payload estimation
- airfoil, wing and tail design
- flight stability and controllability analysis
- performance, range and endurance calculations
- propulsion and energy sizing
- freeform and surface CAD
- component, avionics and payload packaging
- internal structure, interfaces and manufacturing design
- prototype, testing and redesign support
For projects that require additional specialist analysis, the development scope can be defined around the actual risk rather than applying the same level of engineering effort to every aircraft.
