The aim of this paper is to design and develop a fixed wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) prototype for crop spraying. The need to implement UAVs for crop spraying, literature review, design methodology, fabrication and testing of the prototype have been presented. Design methodologies of fixed wing UAVs, agricultural applications of UAVs as well as various methods of control of UAVs have been studied and presented in the literature review. The design methodology for this project has been elaborated in the third section. The mission requirements and the conceptual design have been elaborated first, followed by the preliminary design, which involves airfoil selection, aerodynamic design of wing and selection of the components of the propulsion system. Analysis in XFLR5 was performed for airfoil selection, wing design and tail design. The detail design expounds the structural design and analysis of wing and tail, the fuselage configuration and the spraying system to be implemented. The fabrication and testing of the prototype, its observations and results have been discussed in the last two sections.
