Research
Open write-ups on physics, taxonomy, rendering, and component identification. The work behind the product.
Physics primer
What actually flies.
A grounded walk through thrust, drag, power, and propeller efficiency, the four numbers that decide whether a drone lifts off.
Photo identification
From image to BOM.
How we extract part identity from low-angle workshop photographs. Useful for cataloguing and repair.
Form factor taxonomy
Everything that flies.
A working taxonomy of airframe topologies, from coaxial to tilt-rotor, with the constraints that distinguish them.
3D rendering
The render pipeline.
How DRONA turns a component graph into an interactive 3D render in under a second.
