Opportunity and Significance

Design of aerial drone is one of the most interesting

design projects which needs understanding of basics of

flight, electronic components and laws of motion. BE

1200 class has opportunity to design and manufacture

drone using 3D printing technology. NX 10 CAD

Software, and CURA 3D printing software are used to

create virtual prototypes.

Aerodynamic Duct Design Objective

1. Increase air flow rate in axial direction

2. Protect high speed propellers in the event of crash

Propeller Parametric Design

Propeller Support

Made to connect body to motor/propeller.

Final Prototype Design

Assembly/3D Printing

Final Assembly is done using fine tuning of

electronic parts and 3D printed parts for equal

weight distribution. Any miss-alignment is

compensated by changing speed profile of

motors.
