Agricultural Drone

Engraved line drawing of Agricultural Drone (airframe built): modelled from photographs of our airframe. Moving the pointer over the drawing, or the Show in colour button, reveals the true-colour model.

Stage 3 of 4: Hardware — Airframe built
Inspect the parts

Our 3D model is built from photographs of the real airframe.

The idea & the why

A six-arm agricultural drone that brings a carbon-fibre frame, six motor assemblies, a central electronics stack and tall landing gear together in one machine.

The problem

Farms cover large areas in changing conditions, and many tasks need a view from above. This project builds an aerial platform for that work, starting with the airframe and the systems it carries.

Who it’s for

Farms and agricultural operators who need work done from the air.

The thinking behind it

Six radial booms carry the motor assemblies out from a central frame. The centre holds the electronics and wiring, and tall twin skids leave space below the body. Our 3D model is built from photographs of the real airframe.

The result

A six-arm aerial platform, assembled in our workshop and ready for system integration.
