Quadcopter Design

Overview

This project involves the comprehensive design of a quadcopter UAV, covering aerodynamic analysis, propulsion system selection, structural design, and flight dynamics. The goal was to develop a functional and efficient quadcopter platform from the ground up.

Objectives

• Design the airframe structure for optimal strength-to-weight ratio
• Select and integrate appropriate propulsion components
• Perform aerodynamic and stability analysis
• Develop a complete CAD assembly of the quadcopter

Approach

The design process began with defining mission requirements and performance targets. Component selection was driven by thrust-to-weight analysis, and the airframe was designed using CAD tools with iterative structural analysis to minimize weight while maintaining structural integrity.

Results

The final quadcopter design achieved the target performance specifications with an optimized balance between flight time, payload capacity, and structural durability. The project produced a complete set of design documentation and manufacturing-ready CAD models.
