Project Sentinel | Custom Quadcopter UAV – 3D CAD Assembly & Mechanical Design

**Project Sentinel – Custom Quadcopter UAV Design** Project Sentinel is an independently developed quadcopter UAV engineering project focused on mechanical design, electronic system integration, and autonomous flight control development. This CAD assembly illustrates the mechanical architecture of a custom quadcopter, including the central frame, motor mounting configurations, propeller arrangement, and structural layout. **Key Design Features:** - Custom quadcopter frame and structural assembly - Four-motor brushless propulsion configuration - Mechanical component modeling and assembly integration - Design considerations for structural rigidity, weight distribution, and component accessibility - Integration planning for flight-control electronics, sensors, and power distribution - CAD-based design development and iterative prototyping **Engineering Objectives:** The objective of Project Sentinel is to develop a functional UAV platform while gaining hands-on experience in mechanical design, embedded electronics, control systems, and propulsion technology. The project incorporates independently developed flight-control software and ongoing research into custom brushless motor design and electronic speed controllers. **Software:** SOLIDWORKS **Project Type:** Independent Engineering Research & Development **Status:** Prototype Development This project demonstrates my experience in 3D mechanical modeling, assembly design, multidisciplinary engineering integration, and translating engineering concepts into physical prototypes.
