High Efficiency 3-D Printed Fixed-Wing RC Aircraft

About

The High Efficiency 3D-Printed Fixed-Wing RC Aircraft is a senior engineering design project focused on creating a fully 3D-printed UAV that is lightweight, modular, and adaptable to a wide range of applications. Designed with real-world functionality in mind, the aircraft integrates innovative features for payload delivery, aerial photography, and general recreational use, while pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing in aerospace design.

Goals

Our goal is to design and build a fully 3D-printed, high-efficiency fixed-wing UAV that is adaptable to a wide range of applications, from payload delivery to aerial mapping and surveying. The project aims to integrate lightweight structures, modular design, and advanced features such as autopilot systems and customizable airfoils, while ensuring ease of assembly, durability, and FAA-approved flight capabilities.
