As for an Agriculture drone, it should be a drone that can fold and unfold so it

easy to move around.

Usally a basic agriculture drone should not too heavy, about 20 to 30kg for a
basic one.

However, the main weight for the drone will focus on the operating box which
contain fluid for spraying system, this tank usually get about 50-60% the
weight of the drone.

The dimension of an agriculture drone should be:


 2300mm*2300mm*1350mm when unfold
 1050mm*1080mm*1350mm when folded

The engine we use an 100cc/7.5kW 2-stroke 10 horsepower engine. As we


estimate, with 30kg weight needs 1.6hp to take-off the ground, so 5hp is
enough to lift it 1.5 to 2m off the gound so we just need the engine with 100cc-
10hp run at 50% power to operate the drone.

Along with the 100cc engine we have 4 propellers with diameter is


76cm(30inches) which will make the drone operate efficient.

An agriculture drone should have “Hovering mode” and to need accuracy, we


use a “Hovering Accuracy Range (with strong GNSS signal)”. It use Real-time
kinematic (RTK positioning) to accurate the drone when it hovering. The RTK
positioning should be
 ±10 cm horizontal, ±10 cm vertical when Enable
 ±60 cm horizontal and ±30 cm vertical when Disable
To spray the water/pesticide we use a 12 litter tank along with 2 springklers.
This drone equip 2 water pumps that has a max flow rate of 2L/min each,
which will make the drone can spray 4 litter of water/pesticide per minute.
Efficient air speed should be ≤10 m/s and efficient height is ≤ 5m, that will
make sure the drone have an effective spray witdh which about 5m.
