Vertical Lift Design
Our research started by compiling accessible data and existing research from companies like NASA and Nashville CFI. These research topics range from rotor design in helicopters to the dynamic airflow of a baseball. This research has flown us into action.
Our theoretical design is a combination of rotor-based lift with an internal turbine and airflow channel support. All compiled with an unorthodox drone/manned aircraft shape.
This original design was a 15 foot tall manned vehicle concept that is being diverted into a drone.
Our Engineering Design Journey Officially Began ~ 2/16/2026
As of 6/2/2026
With the support of Solidworks, we have been able to carve out 75% of this design in a short 4 months. (This includes learning Solidworks rather than AutoCAD).
What was once a theoretical design, is seemly becoming something that is inching closer to manufacturing ready. But first Airflow Simulations...
