1: Contribution I contributed to many aspects of this project thought the semester. My first task was to research different frame designs and to collect different ideas for the frames structure and transportation capabilities to align with our deliverables stated… Continue Reading →

A major effort has been refining the design and construction of the safety cage for the test stands. Additionally we are designing a system for wire control in the testing area to ensure wires are safely out of the way… Continue Reading →

Recently our attention has turned to setting up the equipment needed for motor and propeller testing. The RCBenchMark test stands, consisting of a dual-motor stand for Y6 configurations and a single-motor stand, were configured to measure thrust, torque, and vibration…. Continue Reading →

A recent focus of our project was evaluating whether the current 1-inch aluminum frame could support the increased load from 24-inch propellers, as we originally planned to scale up to a 2-inch frame. To determine this, we used data from… Continue Reading →

This project focuses on improving the design of a heavy-lift Y6 multirotor drone, specifically optimizing the frame based on an existing 1-inch square tube aluminum structure. The goal is to create a lighter, stronger, and more portable drone frame that… Continue Reading →
