Values and Limits
Each bar shows a value of the design. The black mark shows the limit. Light gray shows the satisfactory range. Dark gray shows the unsatisfactory range.
Frame Design
A stiffer frame vibrates less, but more plastic increases the mass. A topology optimizer calculated where the plastic gives the most stiffness. The inputs were the positions of the motors, the ducts and the flight controller.

Hardware Tests
The automated checks use a model of the drone. These five tests examine the real drone.
Assumptions
No published data exists for these six values. The design uses an estimate for each value until a measurement replaces it.
