Drones are consequently gaining popularity in autonomous sampling operations and load transporting systems due to their high efficiency and low risk. They are typically equipped with a winch or deployment system that transports certain cargoes. In this paper, the team aimed to design a UAV deployment method utilizing compound split-ring planetary gear capable of supporting a minimum load of 5 kg and a lifting rate of 5cm/s. High torque gearbox, motor selection, rigidity, capacity for rope, precision control, and payload were all considered to achieve this.
