碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 航空太空工程學系碩博士班 === 100 === In recent years, the research on and application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is pervasive. However, general designs of these UAVs are for academic purpose. They are unable to carry high payload and longer work time. The larger size UAVs are too expensive to develop. To solve payload problem, an ultra-light aircraft is converted into unmanned operation. This thesis provides a solution to solve the problem and related limited. Using an Eipper ultra-light vehicle, a hydraulic system is designed and implemented for remotely piloting flight operation as an unmanned ultra-light system (UUS). This thesis illustrates the research process of the system. This research is based on hydraulic system as driving power of UUS, with the help of computer-aided design as design tool. Through the formation ideas, system design, manufacturing modification, and integration of mechanisms, the unmanned ultra-light system is built for tests. The constructing UUS is capable for 100 kg payload in low speed, low altitude operations.
