Tethered UAV

Brief

My first entrepreneurial experience.

This UAV prototype is aiming to solve the low efficiency problem of the current quadcopter drone.

The requirement is design a air platform to carry mobile monitoring or mobile base stations in urban, scenic, or wild environment.

This design is optimised for using wire to deliver electricity to achieve a long hovering and this design Also have higher lift force and efficiency compare to with the same dimensions of the common quadcopter drone. More importantly it’s very safe, the duct structure not only improves the efficiency and lift but also greatly guarantees the safety in use。

The entire structure is made of carbon fiber and the flight control system is inherited from the reusable rocket project.
