Escolha de aeronave remotamente pilotada para prefeituras da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

The successful attempts and applications of sustainable practices are a worldwide concern today. These, in many cases, promote a lower consumption of natural resources, when inserted in traditional activities, which at first would not have adequate concern for sustainability. And this lower consumption is linked not only to a lower expenditure of natural resources, but also to lower generation of gases that would promote the greenhouse effect. The reduction of these gases, which is excessive on the planet, and the preservation of resources are direct contributions to sustainability. Remotely piloted aircraft, popularly known as drones, represent a means for that and their utility has been growing in several areas of human work. One of them is civil engineering. Specifically about this one, there is a use directly related to the application in city halls. Drones can, in this case, be instruments for topography, inspection of public and private constructions, among other municipal works. Therefore, it is important that the respective projects are flexible and consider the use of the most appropriate aircraft from the beginning of their implementations. This dissertation covers research on the types of remotely piloted aircraft currently available, indicating that the multi-rotor type is the most appropriate for use in municipal governments in the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region. The research also covers aspects of legislation related to the aircraft in question and the main technologies they can use in a specific context within the region. It also examines which aircraft are already in use in the target municipalities, as well as others that can be used, focusing on those with the best set of characteristics. The methodology demonstrates why the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region can be considered homogeneous for the study in question, also involve the 12 best aircraft models identified by the research within the intended context of the work. The information on their characteristics is transformed into data, which is processed to generate a result indicating the best aircraft for use in the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region's municipal governments, besides ranking others for the same purpose.
