Material

  • Carbon fiber sheets are most common - light and durable

    • Conducts electricity so everything needs to be well insulated

    • Blocks signals so need to place antenna in a good location

  • HDPE also an option but not as strong

Arms

  • Easier to fix aircraft (and cheaper) if the arms are replaceable

  • Having unibody (arms not removable) could be less machining

Shape

6 Arms

True X

  • Same stability on every access since the motors are all at the same distance

  • More aerodynamic

H Shape

  • Wider so it could fit the drone more easily
