Abstract: The design of a drone frame plays a pivotal role in its overall performance, durability, and efficiency. This paper explores various factors influencing drone frame design, focusing on structural integrity, aerodynamics, material selection, and weight distribution. Drone frames must strike a balance between strength and lightness to support flight dynamics while withstanding environmental stressors such as wind, vibrations, and crashes. Materials like carbon fibre, aluminium, and composite polymers are often utilized for their lightweight properties and resilience. Moreover, frame geometry significantly affects a drone's manoeuvrability, stability, and payload capacity.

Keywords: Strength, Lightness, Stability and Payload Capacity.
