3D Printed FPV Racer
While FPV drone racing continues to grow in popularity, many find the off-the-shelf designed quadcopters bulky and expensive. 3D print designer Ben Pickard has come up with an alternative: a free 3D print design that produces an amazingly strong and agile FPV racing drone that is fairly easy to assemble. The drone is called the “Fiber Fighter” because certain components of it are made ...
3D Print a Cargo Attachment For Your DJI Phantom
We have all heard about Amazon and Wal Mart’s plans to use drones to deliver goods and packages right to their customers’ front doors. But the prospect of actually attaching a package to your drone is not as easy as it sounds. Sure you could tie something to the landing skids. Or bungee cord it around the airframe to make sure that it doesn’t come off in flight. But how would you...
Growing Drones Using Chemistry
To design and build a drone today takes thousands of man hours as well as complicated engineering and manufacturing techniques. However, if BAE, the British aerospace defense company has their way, we may someday be able to grow unmanned aerial vehicles in vats of chemicals using a process called “chemputing”. This process uses chemicals with electronics embedded in the body of the air...
