AIRCRAFT DESIGN & CAD
Heavy-lift Drone
Course: MECH 230 · Bucknell University
August 2026 – Present
I’m building a heavy-lift aircraft for my MECH 230 class at Bucknell. The work centers on CAD models and a bill of materials, with payload and structural efficiency guiding the design. We’ve received our motors, propellers, ESC/gyro, transmitter, etc., and are now working on the wings of the drone and how these components will attach together.
- Design objective: maximize payload and structural efficiency
- Deliverables: aircraft CAD models and bill of materials
