Multimodal drone that can traverse land and water: Design and method thereof

Typically, drones are utilized in locations where people are unable to carry out essential activities. This article discusses the feasibility study of a drone that can move in both air and water. There are several drones that can fly, robots that can swim, and robots that can move on the ground, among other things. Such multimodal drones may find use in military and agricultural settings as a result of this concept. The multimodal drone's operation in both air and water is examined in this paper through thorough explanations and simulation. The theoretical viability of a drone has been shown by the simulation findings. The drone used a calculated thrust of 51.03N to achieve steady flying in the air and 673.39N to sustain regulated movement underwater. A calculated drag force of 0.765N in air and 623.125N in water, which highlights the difference in operating conditions, is one of the intriguing insights into the drone's performance that the study also uncovers. Furthermore, the analysis shows that when completely submerged in water, the buoyancy force is 45.07N.
