Abstract

A geometric model of the trebuchet-type mobile metal launching device, designed for launch (catapult) of small unmanned aerial vehicles, is developed. Structurally, the launch mechanism is coupled with a car that facilitates its mobility. In addition, the car itself is used as a counterweight in the trebuchet design. The calculations of the motion of the launch mechanism are made using the Lagrange equations of the second kind. The test calculations are given
