Content

This course focuses on composite drone production.

Drones come in various forms and shapes. The purpose of flying requires smart constructions and lightweight materials, such as composites. Natural fibers, like flax, offer sustainable composites but also glass and carbon fibers could lead to flying solutions.

The aim of the course is to develop and manufacture your individual composite drone. You will get guidance along the way and having the freedom to develop your ideas and manufacture individual designs.
