Story
Project Overview
This project is a Fusion 360 recreation of the EHang 184 Autonomous Aerial Vehicle(AAV)- a personal aerial transport drone capable of carrying one passenger.
The model was designed completely from scratch to accurately represent the real concept,focusing on structure,aerodynamics, and manufacturability.
It serves as a 3D- printable prototype that demonstrates how advanced drone systems can be modeled using Fusion 360. The goal was to create a detailed mechanical structure that's easy to understand, assemble, and modify for future development.
Design Features
The model includes every key part of the drone's body:
. The main body shell and chassis,
. Detailed seat and cabin interior,
. Headlights, booth compartment, and outer aerodynamic panels,
. Support frames designed for print stability realistic structure.
Most parts were thickened and optimized for 3D printing, while some - such as the main chassis and locking joints - were intentionally left unthickened to allow easy customization for different print materials or assembly preferences.
This ensures flexibility for anyone who wants to build, modify, or integrate their own mechanical components.
Design Intent
The purpose of this design is to showcase the power of Fusin 360 for precise mechanical geometry, functional details, and creative design presentation.
Although this current version focuses on the mechanical structure only, it is fully ready for the addition of electronics such as:
. Pixhawk 6X or similar flight controller,
. Motors, ESCs, and propellers,
. Lighting and sensor systems.
These will be added in future updates to complete the working version.
Tools Used
. Autodesk Fusion 360 - for 3D modeling, visualization, and rendering.
