Skeleton-Inspired Aerial Drones

The conceptual 'Skeleton Drone' is Lightweight Yet Strong

The conceptual 'Skeleton Drone' is a piece of aerial equipment that will work effectively to race through environments and capture content, while also being inherently sound from a structural standpoint.

The drone has a skeletal structure that draws inspiration from the natural evolution of bones to provide lightweight rigidity that will prevent it from failing if it comes into contact with an obstacle. This means the drone will survive a crash instead of being completely annihilated to make it suitable for continuous daily use.

The conceptual 'Skeleton Drone' is the design work of Hong Zhi, and is further enhanced with a battery, computer and camera setup that are also lightweight to keep component bulk to a bare minimum.
