Unmanned aerial vehicle

This is a drone design where the main body can have its motor-and-propeller arms easily attached and detached. The battery pack is also designed to be easily swapped out and is partly visible from the outside when installed. The drone has a central brain that talks to smaller controllers in each arm to manage the motors.

Why it matters: Modular drone designs have become more practical with advancements in standardized connectors and manufacturing. Improved battery technology makes quick-swapping an exposed battery more impactful for extended operations.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedFlight control software, custom electronics, modular mechanics.
