The high tension cables here include the live cables and the electric transmission tower. The problems faced and the maintenance of high tension cables that is used to transmit electricity was studied in order to design the most suitable aircraft for the job. We have purchased and assembled a rotary wing aircraft and equip it with a wireless camera that will transmit the pictures taken during the flight to a receiver which will be connected to a laptop. We can see the picture in real time through the laptop that is installed with programs to receive the data, and will be able to inspect the cables. The data that was obtained were compared with the traditional way of inspecting the cables and it is concluded that by using our method, it is safer and convenient. In terms of effectiveness we can say that this method is slightly more effective because we can actually go closer to the cables we want to inspect. Although the transmitted picture looks blurry and interrupted, this can be solved by using a higher resolution camera, a better receiver and by using a damper to reduce the vibration of the camera. 2004 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/78242/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/78242/1/78242.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Mohd Tahir, Wan Mazlina
