Undergraduate college level textbook on the the theoretical and practical principles of design and construction of drones. This book started as a textbook for the EET-112 Sensors for Drones class at Union Community College; along the course, it evolved into a guide for designing drones, specifically multi-propeller copters. This book is intended to be a practical manual; any theoretical material presented here is used as background to justify the calculations and design presented in the final chapters; it would be difficult to understand the numbers and design decisions without this foundation. Since it is an undergraduate, college level work, the text does require some knowledge of Calculus and Mathematics in general; some parts will require understanding of software programming and a basic knowledge of electricity and physics. The mathematics will be kept quite informal, it is just a tool for understanding some of the concepts presented along the book. The same can be said for the physical models used throughout the text. The content tries to aggregate in one single place all the information needed to design and build multi-propeller copters - information that is scattered all over the Internet - as well as data our team gathered from the years spent building and flying custom made, mobile network connected drones; some of the information in this book will not be found anywhere else; this is, however, a rapidly evolving field and some of the information and links here may become obsolete. As the author, I will try my best to keep the information up-to-date.
