working on a webos for the webos1 challenge, i have currently added a music app in which you can store my local directory, then you have a lil browser in which it just shows you predefined results, a paint app in which u can actually draw and save your artpieces as jpeg files, a little terminal with simple linux type commands and obviously neofetch, also added a lil notes app cuz well we love notes app.
This screenshot may have a little easter egg for whats coming up next in WebOS challenge 2
What if life-saving supplies could reach places of distress without roads, traffic, or human pilots? This project presents a long-endurance autonomous UAV designed to deliver payloads upto 300g using an energy-efficient airframe, autonomous flight planning, and low-cost hardware and really low cost maintenance, most parts of this build are easy to find and the build processes that are used in this aircraft are personally developed worked and tested in real life by me personally.
Built from the ground up as a practical engineering platform, the aircraft demonstrates how modern autonomous systems can make aerial logistics more accessible, affordable, and adaptable for real-world challenges.
The build uses cheap/easily available parts, and every dime serves a purpose in this project, ive linked the github (currently unfinished) on my project page aswell, please check it out and if yall like it then drop a like aswell.
in the images attached, i have made out a flight plan for how it would go in real life, ive ran CFD sims on the aircraft and made a wing profile of 45cm out of thermocol of the SD7037 airfoil to test its stall characteristics to have a better idea about the cruise speed estimation, this testing was done by me sitting in a car with this airfoil outside the window and strapping a MPU gyro to read the angle readings and telling my dad to speed up or slow down.

Currently dont have a pixhawk board, but thought learning to plan a mission wont be that hard, installed mission planner, and now am trying to get a hang of things in this, ill have a servo attached to the AUX port of the pixhawk and ill plan it so the plane reaches X m/s amount of gps speed before dropping the payload and then before X-C m ill drop the payload so that the landing of the payload is as precise as possible here C is the drag coefficient, ill also have to take into account the paracute ill be making out of old plastic bags and how much they will reduce the speed.
Made some realistic changes like adding 2 motors instead of one, estimate weight is around 1.7kgs and ill be using 12 inch fiber props in this build, the battery will be made up of either 3000 or 5000 cells if i manage to get my hands on them, the rear stab LOOKS small but its enough for this build providing 1 vbar ratio, this with differential thrust the aircraft will have insane yaw authority, which can be increased to even more by just moving the thrust motors a little outward on the wing, i have added the pixhawk ESC and my motor models to the document aswell
Changed the entire design from a flying wing to a conventional UAV type design 2m wingspan and 18cm chord length with a SD7037 airfoil payload capacity of around 500g, there’s a dedicated space for the payload, the entire aircraft will be built out of lightweight pharmocol carbon spars and my own special building techniques that uses trash to reinforce the aircraft.
Ive ran CFD sims on this aircraft aswell and im satisfied by the results for now
Starting out as a flying wing UAV design, uses efficent flying wing type airfoils and will have max payload capacity of around 500g, this aircraft will be mostly responsible for delivering medicines to remote areas without stopping, it’ll use a bomb dropping type mechanism with a parachute strapped to the package.
Main aim of this project is to finish everything in as cheap as but as perfect as possible, in india expensive tech doesnt work out, so im making something that people can actually use
