Title
Summary
Designed a custom drone in Fusion 360 with a 3D-printed core and carbon-fiber tube arms. Iterated motor mounts through vibration failures, designed custom prop-motor adapters, removable CF landing gear clamps, and a dedicated ESC holder for serviceability.

Impact metrics
Flight-capable custom airframe; multiple CAD→print→test iterations on vibration-critical mounts; modular service-friendly electronics packaging.
M&T angle
Iterative hardware R&D: diagnose failure modes, redesign, retest — same loop as product engineering.
Reflection
Spool-up vibration destroyed early mounts. Filleting, wall thickness, and anti-rotation pins turned a fragile print into something that survives flight loads.
