Abstract Multicopter are slowly finding its way into various industrial sector applications including security, oil & gas, public health, etc. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles provides faster and reliable solutions for many real time challenges. Spraying sanitizers using drone is one such solution which is effectively implemented during COVID-19 pandemic situation. Hexacopter is designed to carry up to 2 litres of sanitizer in its reservoir and the sanitizer spray system is designed to dispense the liquid as droplets at a constant flow rate. Hexacopter is made of carbon fibre and equipped with Pixhawk autonomous module as flight controller. The UAV can be operated in both manual and autonomous modes to increase the ease of operation for indoors as well as in outdoors sanitization process.
