Abstract
Following an extensive evaluation of subsystem options outlined in the mid-term report, the multi-rotor swarm configuration was selected as the final design, accompanied by a preliminary operational strategy. This decision has guided the project into its final detailed design phase. This report demonstrates how the design proceeds using the selected analytical methods. A series of detailed analyses further illustrates how the design meets the updated performance requirements, supported by numerical results and visualisations. Finally, post-project actions and future plans are outlined to ensure the project’s continued development and success.
