Abstract : Frame is the structure of the drone that holds the drone together. It is essential of drone frame to be structurally strong and aerodynamically efficient. The paper investigates the arms of a multirotor drone frames as an integral and major part of drone frame for structural sustainability and aerodynamic performance. The drone arms with 5 different cross sections are analyzed viz, circular section, hollow circular section, rectangular section, triangular section, T-section and I-section. The conducted structural analysis found the hollow circular section to be optimum and conducted CFD analysis helps in concluding the fact that circular section has less aerodynamic drag and considerably less impact on lift than the rest of the sections and hence the hollow circular section is more suitable for material saving, weight reduction and has better aerodynamic performance.
