Four propellers.
One airframe.
A compact electric drone built around a slender fuselage and four motor pods. Every component has to earn its place.
01 / THE PROJECT
An electric aircraft.
Built for speed.
TYCHO is our take on a high-speed electric drone. We are developing a compact airframe around four propellers, bringing aerodynamic shape, propulsion and onboard electronics together from the first CAD model.
Inside the engineeringFour propellers.
More than
an outer shell.
The body has to make room for batteries, flight electronics and an FPV camera while keeping a clean aerodynamic shape.
Designed on screen.
Built to be tested.
Our next step is the first physical prototype. Assembly and flight testing will tell us what the next version needs.
02 / FROM CONCEPT TO PROTOTYPE
What we are building.
The first version has a clear purpose: turn a working CAD assembly into a flyable prototype, then use testing to guide the next design.
01
Aerodynamic design
A slender fuselage and compact motor pods keep the outer shape focused on high-speed flight.
02
Structural engineering
Designing an airframe that can be fabricated and assembled, with space for batteries, electronics and service access.
03
Electric propulsion
Working through the motor, propeller and battery layout as one system, alongside the flight-control electronics.
04
Prototype development
Preparing the first parts for fabrication, followed by assembly, electronics integration and initial flight tests.
03 / DEVELOPMENT
The road to
our first flight.
Construction of our first prototype is underway. Flight tests are planned for November, followed by the next design iteration in December.

04 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PROJECT
Curiosity is
our starting point.
Aerospace students.
FPV experience.
We are a small, independent team in Munich, bringing together aerospace students at the Technical University of Munich and hands-on drone and FPV experience. TYCHO gives us a way to turn the ideas we study into something we can build and fly.
What excites us is how closely every decision is connected. A change to the shape affects the structure; the battery layout changes how everything fits. We enjoy working through those trade-offs together, from the CAD model to the workshop.
AEROSPACE ENGINEERINGDESIGN & PROTOTYPINGDRONE & FPV EXPERIENCE
Our aim is to build, test and improve a high-speed electric drone, learning from each version along the way.

The next chapter
starts with people.
Collaboration. Engineering. New perspectives.
