The megacopter is a drone with 48 propellers clustered into 8 groups. The drone took 18 months to design and build, and it’s body is made of aluminum and plywood. Megacopter was built as part of a project to promote science and engineering education. While it set its record with a 134 pound payload, it’s designed to carry up to 330 pounds, so it may even surpass its own record someday–in the category it created, to set a record.
