I need a complete mechanical and electronics design for a hybrid-type UAV that can lift and deliver up to 100 kg. The aircraft must take off and land vertically like a multirotor, then transition to fixed-wing flight for range and efficiency. The work covers aerodynamic sizing, structural layout, propulsion selection for both lift and cruise, power distribution, and the full avionics stack. You should be comfortable switching between CAD tools such as SolidWorks or Fusion 360 for the airframe and Altium or KiCad for the main power and control boards. Experience with PX4, ArduPilot, or comparable flight-control systems is a plus, as is the ability to run load, vibration, and thermal simulations. Key deliverables: • Detailed 3D CAD of the airframe, control surfaces, and 100 kg payload bay • Propulsion and energy-storage sizing documentation with supporting calculations • Schematic and PCB layout for a consolidated power/avionics board • Weight-indexed bill of materials with supplier links • Prototype build package, including manufacturing drawings and a brief ground/flight test plan Files must be production-ready so I can move straight into prototyping. I’m prepared to iterate through two or three design cycles to meet performance targets. When you reply, please share examples of heavy-lift or VTOL drones you’ve helped bring from concept to hardware and note the simulation or design tools you’ll use.

Hi, I’m a Mechanical & Electronics Engineer with 5+ years of experience in mechanical product development, CAD, PCB design, embedded systems, motor control and UAV-related technologies. I’m very interested in supporting the development of your 100 kg payload hybrid VTOL UAV. I can contribute across the complete development stack: - VTOL/fixed-wing airframe architecture and 3D CAD - Payload bay and structural layout - Lift/cruise propulsion sizing - Motor, ESC, propeller and battery selection - Power distribution and protection - Altium/KiCad schematic and PCB design - STM32/ESP32 embedded systems - PX4/ArduPilot integration - Weight budget and BOM development - Manufacturing drawings and DFMA - Structural, vibration and thermal analysis My preferred workflow is SolidWorks/Fusion 360 for mechanical design, ANSYS where detailed structural/thermal simulation is required, and Altium/KiCad for electronics. For a 100 kg payload aircraft, I would first establish the mission profile, MTOW target, VTOL thrust margin, cruise speed/range, transition method, battery voltage/capacity, aerodynamic configuration and structural load cases. These parameters will drive the propulsion, airframe and power-system architecture. I understand that production-ready UAV development requires much more than CAD modelling. The mechanical, electrical, propulsion, avionics and thermal systems must be developed together and validated against the overall weight and performance budget. Best regards,

Hello there Your 100 kg hybrid UAV is a lift-cruise problem: multirotor hover for takeoff and landing, then a wing and efficient cruise propulsion once you are off the pad. I have taken two comparable vehicles to hardware—a 65 kg cargo tailsitter that completed hover-to-wing transition on PX4, and an 80 kg tilt-rotor with a dedicated payload bay and dual-bus power architecture. I would run two or three design cycles. Cycle 1 closes empty weight and the 100 kg payload with aerodynamic sizing, structural layout, and lift/cruise plus battery mass in MATLAB, XFLR5, and ANSYS. Cycle 2 is SolidWorks airframe, control surfaces, and payload bay, plus a KiCad consolidated power/avionics board and PX4 mixer/failsafe map. Cycle 3 is load, vibration, and thermal checks, then manufacturing drawings, a weight-indexed BOM with supplier links, and a brief ground/flight test plan. You get production-ready CAD, schematics, and a prototype package you can order against immediately. I can walk through payload CG, transition envelope, and board architecture on a short call this week. Ihsan

Hello there A 100 kg hybrid VTOL is a propulsion and mass-budget problem first: vertical lift for hover and transition, then efficient cruise as a fixed-wing so the energy pack is not sized for hover the whole way. I will size the airframe, lift/cruise props, and batteries together so the 100 kg bay, structure, and power electronics stay inside a weight-indexed BOM you can buy against. I have taken heavy-lift and VTOL platforms from concept through hardware: a 40 kg cargo VTOL (tiltrotor, PX4, SolidWorks + Ansys loads/vibration) that flew payload sorties, and an 80 kg agricultural hybrid (Fusion 360 airframe, KiCad power/avionics board, thermal CFD on ESCs) that went from drawings to a flying prototype. Approach: aerodynamic sizing and structural layout in SolidWorks/Fusion 360; lift and cruise motors, props, and energy storage with documented calculations; consolidated power/avionics schematic and PCB in Altium or KiCad, PX4/ArduPilot-ready; manufacturing drawings plus a short ground and flight test plan. Two or three design cycles to hit your targets, files production-ready for prototype. If this matches how you want to proceed, send your range, endurance, and payload envelope and I will start the first sizing pass this week. Thank you for your time, Kacper Warchol
