Dyson Drone
A Speculative Look at Exploratory Flight
The purpose of the project was to create a theoretical drone capable of exploring other worlds. It required a NASA or NOAA aesthetic with a set allowance for dimensions among many other criteria.
My inspiration for this exploratory drone came from the natural streamlined shape of a Coopers Hawk combined with the innovative thinking used in Dyson’s tower fans.
Assembly drawings give engineers and technicians building the drone a quick way of reviewing measurements to ensure it is built to original specifications.
Created using the 3D modeling program SolidWorks; The final outcome required designing 36 unique pieces, with over 100 pieces total to piece together and build. A Bill of Materials provides an overview of all included parts and their orientation in the craft.
Assembly and exploded views of the drone provide a unique look into how the craft was designed and pieced together for engineers to consider while building and considering further design alterations or improvements.
Initial renders provide a polished looks to review the final outcome while building.
The final materials for used for the drone included a majority of plastic and polycarbonate to keep the weight of the craft lighter and more maneuverable, with a black underside with mirrors the aesthetic of current spacecraft created by NASA.
