The drone engineering process often operates as a ‘design loop’, which refers to the circular nature of the design process. Building the first version of the drone relies on certain assumptions and key formulas, many of which will change as components are selected and the design comes together.
In this article we will cover:
- Finding a battery to increase flight time
- How to choose a drone motor and propeller (with database)
- Swapping components to maximize efficiency
- How to choose an ESC
