Many industries are interested now in using drones because they are fast, cost-effective and efficient solutions. There are many different applications for drones such as parcel delivery, rescue operations, construction drones, infrastructure inspection, military operations, agriculture monitoring and many more. This is very attractive opportunity for entrepreneurs and drone market is growing very fast. Whether it is a new initiative within a company or a new start-up, the problem really is what drone application is worth to develop. At present, drone application are many in 21 st century but the cost of the drones are very high, so in this paper we are trying to reduce the cost of the frame and we are focused only on frame of heavy Octocopter drones which will replacing the Carbone fiber pipe to the aluminum pipe with simple design concept of the drone and compacting the overall size of the drone frame and joining with the 3D printed plastic parts. Our aim in this paper work is we are trying to reduce as much as possible weight and cost for the Octocopter drone frame and easy to manufacturing and assembling the frame are consider while designing the frame of the drone. The design is arrange in a simple way such that we can easily separate in two quad copter or easily combine in one octocopter like that multi- functional frame design is arranged with the all parameters are consider such that payload, battery, motors, propellers and electronic control units etc. The frame is design in CATIA V5 CAD software and static analysis is done in ANSYS 19.2 software and find out the total deformation and stress in the frame body of the drone. Key Words: Quad copter drone, Octo copter drone, multi- frame, CATIAV5, ANSYS. 1. INTRODUCTION Drones are now being implemented in various fields such as agriculture, mining, surveillance, mapping, reconnaissance, etc. The versatility of drones has been expanding due to the highly advanced electronics available today. Imaging sensors, thermal sensors, passive infrared sensors, obstacle detection are some of the most commonly used ones today. Infrastructure surveillance and maintenance is done with less use of manpower using drones. Critical structures that require a lot of energy and time for inspection such as cable towers, wind mills, solar farms, industrial buildings walls and dams, can be easily inspected with the help of drones. Drones come in a variety of designs, such as a fixed-wing drone, which looks like a plane, or a rotorcraft drone, which looks similar to a helicopter, though often with multiple rotors (usually up to eight). The latter has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities and it can hover, which makes this design particularly attractive in close quarters, such as crowded urban areas. Tilt-wing drones combine features of fixed-wing and rotorcraft drones using wings that can be swiveled. Drones may use different types of propulsive power, including internal combustion engines, electric batteries, and solar and hydrogen fuel cells 1.1 Quad copter drone The most popular multi-copter on the market Quad copters is fast, easy to manufacture and affordably priced. These copters utilize four propellers to ensure that the aircraft is able to lift up into the air. Essentially, there is a 4 propeller layout in the design of a square or rectangle around the body. Fig -1: Quad copter drone The one obvious benefit is that with four propellers, the product has a lot more power to be able to lift off of the ground this allows for more payload or overall weight to be added. Drones often use this design simply because it can hold a lot of weight without raising the price of the product drastically.
