Abstract
Agricultural UAVs are growing and developing rapidly throughout the whole world due to its extensive advantages. Agricultural drones are transforming on the way farming is being carried out. They are very suitable and agile for working in a large area of land and rough terrains with high efficiency. Agriculture drones are much bigger in size where they will have a larger and wider spraying span. They can increase and improve the efficiency of spraying more area of land in a shorter duration compared to a knapsack sprayer. The entire research design is based on quantitative research, which was conducted through simulation using SolidWorks, MATLAB and Ansys Fluent. SolidWorks was used for planning, modelling and visual ideation of the agricultural drone. Each of the individual components of the agricultural drone was measured, sketched and designed. MATLAB was used to simulate the agricultural drone to fly in a specific pattern to water a certain area. Velocity, acceleration, position and flight pathway graphs were plotted. These data were collected to observe how evenly the entire area being sprayed is fully covered. Ansys Fluent was used to display the velocity that the fluid will be flowing inside the nozzle and spraying it out.

The results are taken from simulations conducted SolidWorks, MATLAB and Ansys Fluent
An analysis is made from the graphs plotted based on the velocity, acceleration, position and flight pathway taken by the agricultural drone to water a specific area
Summary
In this era of modern technologies, the structure of rural labour force throughout the whole world has changed drastically. It has increased the contradiction regarding the demand and lack of rural labour force available agricultural equipment with higher efficiency is sought after in order to serve for the agricultural production. Crop diseases and pests are major factors affecting the quality and yield of crops. Chemical pesticides will be the main solution in order to control and prevent this from happening. The selection of the equipment to be used is a critical factor for chemical pest control. The quality of the spraying process mainly depends on the skill of the sprayers
