Abstract
Problems that satisfy various constraints while maintaining weight balance in ships or aircraft were studied. In addition, a study was conducted to solve the problem with a mathematical method under the condition that the shape and weight of the load are the same and the m×n (m and n are all odd) mesh structures. The problem is that the existing mathematical weight balancing method is not suitable for circular structures. In this paper, we studied the load stowing problem in a circular space where objects are loaded at the vertices of N equilateral polygons. Assuming that all N conformal polygons have an even number of angles, it was proved that a loading method that always maintains weight balance regardless of the variety of number of loads. By providing the structure and loading method of the drone loading ship, we showed that our method was appropriate.
