摘要

The design of quadcopters, which are essential to many industries, requires improvements in weight optimisation, structural integrity, and aerodynamic efficiency. We achieved this by developing a novel frame that prioritises strength-to-weight ratio and structural performance through iterative design and simulation. The true X-design was selected for stability and manoeuvrability, supported by material analysis that favours carbon fibre due to its exceptional properties. System simulation, specifically finite element analysis (FEA) using Fusion 360, provided insights into structural integrity. Results validated the frame’s dependability under thrust produced by the drone motors. Our study highlights the significance of novel design and simulation methods in improving quadcopter performance and advancing aerial robotics.
