It is an Individual effort on completing the design, but it couldn’t have been completed so easily being from a software field without the help of some people who helped me understand some of the basic concepts and way of designing. Aerospace engineering is my ambition in life for which I have planned my higher studies to go with interdisciplinary branch in my masters; for which I’m considering this design to be a stepping stone. I would like to thank my parents and these people who supported me and helped me in the process. Mr. Sudeer Hegade, Employee, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.

To achieve some of the tasks in aided services like 1. Fast deployment and rescue coordination 2. Aid distribution 3. Evacuation of casualties during natural disasters. It is also designed for armed services with minute alterations with designs. vii KURARA[AHS-2013] 1. History When we try to go back in time and try to find out when exactly did humans had idea to build a vehicle that could fly, it really turns way too strange. It’s not Galileo or Write brothers; it’s still long back in time. Fig 1.1 Egyptian Histories In 1848, an archaeological expedition working in Egypt discovered strange hieroglyphs on a ceiling beam at an ancient temple in Abydos, several hundred miles south of Cairo. The hieroglyphs were carefully copied and brought back to Europe. The mysterious images gave rise to heated debate amongst Egyptologists. Eventually, however, they were dismissed as bizarre objects that nobody could adequately explain and were forgotten. In the mid 1990's photographs and videos, taken primarily by tourists who had visited Abydos, began to appear on the internet. They depicted the 'strange machine hieroglyphs' originally discovered in the nineteenth century. The temple in which they were found was built by Pharaoh Seti I around three thousand years ago. To the modern viewer it is clear that the strange machines, so mysterious to the Victorians, are in fact various types of flying craft and a tank. One of the aircraft is a helicopter. There is no mistaking it. It has a rotor blade, cockpit and 1 KURARA[AHS-2013] tailfin typical of a modern battle helicopter. On the face of it, this is one of the most astounding discoveries ever to have been made in Egypt. Not surprisingly, perhaps, the ancient high-tech machinery glyphs have been dismissed out of hand by modern Egyptologists. Given the great body of knowledge that now exists with regard to ancient Egypt, the concept of the Egyptian military flying around in sophisticated aircraft three thousand years ago is simply ludicrous. The conventional explanation for these mysterious carvings, fielded by Egyptologists, is that they are just illusions. The most likely cause of these anomalous hieroglyphs is considered to be due to re-facing and re-carving of the original temple stonework, and to weathering effects. Over a protracted period of time, it is believed that parts of the reworked stone have fallen away, revealing older hieroglyphs underneath. In effect, sections of the original and re- carved hieroglyphs have become overlapped to produce altered images that bear little, if any resemblance, to the original images. Such images are termed 'palimpsests' by Egyptologists. Re-carving of inscriptions was a common phenomenon in ancient Egypt. When newly installed Pharaohs adopted the structures of previous rulers, they sought to make them their own by overwriting the hieroglyphs of their predecessors. Indeed, some refurbishment of the Seti I temple at Abydos is known to have taken place when it was acquired by his son and successor Ramasses II. Looking at the photograph shown above, however, or higher resolution photographs readily accessible on the internet, it is clear that nothing has fallen away from the carving of the helicopter and other military craft. They are continuous intact images. The helicopter, for example, is precise in every detail, down to its finely carved rotor blade. These are old paintings of Jesus Christ crucified, you can see the encircled part, having some objects that look flying that resembles gas balloons or parachutes and some sort of aircrafts.
