Video capturing from radio controlled aircraft

At present civil security is one of the major important areas. The appropriate air surveillance support is necessary in situations like terrorist attacks and identifying crimes and even mapping geographical areas etc., there is need of development of versatile technology for a more secure and a safer living. Design of Flying Radio-Controlled aircraft (RC aircraft or RC plane) in worldwide is an interested research area. This research is growing with the design of lighter, efficient motors, more powerful batteries and less expensive electronic radio systems. This paper mainly emphasizes on designing and constructing Radio Controlled Aircraft using balsa wood and all electronic components included for controlling. In addition to these a wireless camera is mounted on surface of aircraft and used for capturing live feed to view a particular area in the vicinity. This Aircraft resembles the drones use in Defence sector for aerial patrolling or surveillance. In experimental results the captured frame of video from the constructed RC aircraft is presented.
