-First, you will propose at least two drone arm designs. Using the provided material properties, the weight of other drone components, and a minimum payload requirement, you will use MATLAB to perform thrust-to-weight analysis across your designs to ensure safety margins and maximize payload capacity. You will then create a 3D model of one design using a CAD software of your choice, import it into MATLAB, and perform finite element analysis to evaluate deformation and stress under motor thrust and component weight, conducting a parameter sweep of material properties to identify the material that provides the highest structural integrity. As an optional extension, you will also minimize the total material cost of your design by incoporating the average cost of each material option.
