Abstract: Air transportation is now in an accelerated growth, to make it reliable and cost-efficient several researchers are going on. In this paper, the design of an aircraft which is assisted by a panel for take-off and landing by using magnetic levitation phenomenon has been proposed. In this design, superconducting magnets and electromagnets are used for levitation and propulsion during take-off respectively, speed and position sync technology by modulating Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) for landing purpose. An unmanned Air vehicle of 100cm span with T-Tail have been designed and manufactured as per standards of ASME. Due to the levitation of aircraft by superconducting magnets Gross weight of the vehicle reduced approximately 6% was recorded. A Magnetic Panel Runway of length 3m have been designed and tested for 10m/s as take-off velocity. We conjectured that this concept will reduce fuel consumption during take-off, accidents during landing, further a shorter runway length can be achieved.
