Abstract
The objective is to build a scaled down model of a 3D printed drone capable of carrying a payload scalable to 50 lbs. for a wide array of applications. Some applications of the drone could include delivering support materials during natural disasters, such as foam to put out fire or medical aid packs to provide aid to injured people, food or package delivery, or military applications. The project has been split up into two groups. One group will be focusing on the propulsion aspect of the project, such as the electric motors and airfoil. Simultaneously, this group will design the body and control aspects of the drone, such as the structure, circuit board, and software. The manufacturing method of 3D printing has been chosen to study and address the various challenges associated with it and to prove this concept can be easily manufactured if critical parts are damaged or need replaced in the remote, emergency locations that the drone may be used in.
