AB  - This paper presents a student-led initiative to extend the flight endurance of multi-rotor aircraft, guided by a team of instructors. This venture stands distinct as it targets surpassing the existing world record for flight time in small multi-rotor autonomous aircraft. The investigative approach involved an analysis of the current record-holder's design, focusing on potential improvements in battery technology, motor efficiency, structural design, and rotor blade aerodynamics. Amidst a rapidly evolving drone technology landscape, this endeavor holds promise. The narrative highlights the student's educational journey, supported by testimonials and educational insights from the academic advisors, illustrating the pedagogical value and the innovative potential of hands-on, goal-oriented academic projects.
