Abstract

This report covers the basic approach to creating a new multirotor design. All the way from creating a concept, through design requirements and finally evaluation. Both control algorithms and system design is covered. The main problem solved is that of the danger of naked propellers used on most multirotor drones and how to make them safer and easier to fly in populated areas.
