Show HN: I made a 3D printed VTOL drone
With no background in CAD, 3D printing or aerodynamics modeling
I had never used any aerodynamic modeling tools to simulate lift-to-drag ratios or stability curves like Cm-alpha. Because of that, I did not discuss dozens of project challenges like how I chose the design parameters, learnt airframe CAD design, sourced components, improved foaming PLA print quality, in-depth power loss troubleshooting, and many more challenges this project faced. A century ago, you needed at least a brother and a bicycle shop to pioneer flight.
