Abstract

This research focuses on the load and stability of unmanned aerial vehicles that are as light as possible but with optimal stability functions and increasing the capacity of liquid fertilizer lifted by unmanned aerial vehicles. The increase in lift is related to the payload and stability to be carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle. By optimizing the arm using the arm carbon method, so without reducing the strength and function of the drone, the gross weight of the components becomes much lighter, so that the weight can be focused on increasing the capacity of liquid fertilizer. With the increase in liquid fertilizer capacity, of course, the weight also increases, this raises a new problem, which is to make the balance value when the drone take-off has a large magnitude, thus affecting stability which causes the potential to fail to fly, therefore this research was carried out so that the drone has stability. maximum and can minimize the effects of shocks from increasing capacity after using arm-carbon. The measurements taken were the success rate of the system in flying over agricultural land, power testing and current measurements. After testing, it was found that by using a split tank and carbon arm system, current and power tend to be more stable, so that battery life is longer, liquid fertilizer capacity can be increased and the potential for flight failure can be minimized with a split tank system with 90% accuracy, carried out optimizing weight with carbon arms and increasing the capacity of liquid fertilizer by 30%, using a split tank system increases the stability of the drone at take-off by up to 80%.
