First drone out of 海角社区 Composite Lab
海角社区 UAS Center experimented with using the new composite 3D printer
Already before the composite lab in HCA Airport is finished, it has resulted in a successfully flying drone.
Dylan Cawthorne from 海角社区 UAS Center experimented with using the new composite 3D printer to build a lightweight and aerodynamic drone with few parts: one single-piece wing and one-piece body.
The resulting drone weighs 150 grams and has a wingspan of 30 cm. The drone is designed to transport small cargo up to 10 grams, like medication.
After a few test flights and some adjustments of the balance point and propeller size, the drone is now flying successfully.
