Challenge 01
Weight and Flight Time
Keeping weight to an absolute minimum was a high priority to increase all important flight time. In an industry where seconds can capture that all important shot.
Solution
Rectangular motor arms were therefore chosen by C-Tech to maximise stiffness gains in multiple orientations whilst also optimising strength to weight ratios.
Challenge 02
Design Tolerances
The accuracy of the drone motor axis relied upon very square outer tube faces resulting in strict design tolerances for the outside face of the square tubes.
Solution
This is something mandrel wrapped carbon tubes are not well known for. However through developing internal processes C-Tech achieved and excelled at meeting these strict tolerances.
