The proper design of the UAV will enable the system to meet its service and
    functional requirements. It will also promote its availability and reliability, thereby
    extending its useful life in service. This work focuses on the development, sizing of an
    engine, and simulation of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), including the assembly
    of the whole propulsion system in the UAV. The mission of the developed UAV is for
    short range (25-100 km). The propulsion system consists of the following: the engine,
    muffler, electronic ignition system, fuel tank, engine servos, propeller, firewall, and
    battery. These components assembled together give the UAV its required thrust for
    flight. The design calculations were done, and simulations for the design were carried
    out using Solid Works and AutoCAD. The developed UAV was constructed using local
    materials such as Styrofoam and wood. It was driven by a two stroke internal
    combustion engine (gas engine) and an electric motor controlled by an electric speed
    controller (ESC). The performance evaluation of the developed UAV was carried out
    using the virtual X-Plane flight simulator. The results obtained indicated that that the
    developed UAV can be deployed for the short-range missions. This work provides
    design data for the development of the UAV. Hence, it is envisaged that the outcome of
    the study will be of immense guide to industries, which specialize in the development
    of UAV.
