Helical UAV – an 'Aerial Screw' inspired conceptual design for a passively cooled UAV

A fleet of aircraft thriving in the military, commercial as well as recreational industry of recent decades has been that of the ‘Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)’, more commonly referred to as ‘Drones’. Their versatility in structure and function suitable for a wide range of applications have drawn...
