Introduction to Drone Engineering

Drone engineering is the multidisciplinary field focused on designing, building, and optimizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for various applications. Combining principles from aerospace, electronics, computer science, and mechanical engineering, drone engineering involves creating systems that balance performance, stability, and functionality. Engineers must consider factors like aerodynamics, propulsion, power efficiency, and control systems to ensure drones can perform tasks effectively, whether it's delivering packages, capturing stunning aerial footage, or performing complex industrial inspections. This field is at the forefront of innovation, pushing the boundaries of technology to make drones faster, smarter, and more capable.

In this course, you'll embark on an introduction to drone engineering by designing your very own drone. Designing a drone requires carefully choosing the specifications of each of the components, such that the resulting performance and characteristics of the entire vehicle meet the desired criteria.
