Design & Construction Course
Build your own drone from scratch. Learn by doing, guided by real UAS engineers
Curious about how drones are made? Want to learn not just how to fly one, but how to design, assemble, and configure your own system from the ground up?
This immersive course puts you in the shoes of a UAS engineer. You’ll be guided by professionals with years of experience in drone design, prototyping, and testing. By the end of the course, you’ll have built and flown your own multicopter, gaining practical skills and confidence in every step of the process.
What You’ll Learn
This course blends theoretical knowledge with practical application, using the same professional-grade tools and methods we use in real UAS development.
Topics Covered:
Aerodynamics and Stability & Control
UAS Performance and Propulsion Systems
Fundamentals of UAS Design
On-board Systems Integration
Automatic Pilot Setup and Calibration
Tools & Platforms You’ll Use:
3D design software
3D printer
