Pandora design
Drone design
Design Aspects:
- Body is a KFM-2 airfoil with fins
- Made from foam, allows drone to be light and stiff
- Bottom of drone is bright colors to be visible from the ground
- Two primary circuits maintain communications and other functions
- Batteries are larger to improve battery life and overall range
- Small solar panels help power motors and communication equipment
- Possibly unnecessary circuitry is removable to decrease weight
- airfoil encourages lift
- Combined horizontal and vertical lift allow flight
- Cost totals $1,349.99
Changes and improvements
Changes Include:
- transmitting range and the use of solar energy
- the use of flexible solar panels
- solar panels charge the batteries during the day
- distribution of weight stabilizes the drone
- improved transmitter directly increases range
- total range improvement totals approximately .5 miles
- improved transmitters reduce crash rate and communication problems
