Thanks to Ecovative, we were able to construct a prototype biological unmanned aerial vehicle!



But we didn't stop there. Our team was enthusiastic about drone design and so we developed concept UAV designs meant to inspire future scientists and designers to think outside the box about how a future, partially living vehicle might look. Pseudo-natural and pseudo-industrial, our drone design references the traditional biological architecture of birds while embracing industrial additive manufacturability.



All 3D printable files for this concept drone are available in the downloads section. Images of our work follow:
