Drones have been an emerging trend in the last few years. They are used in multiple industries already, from photography and videography to racing. More use cases are now being conceived, such as using drones to deliver packages and food to people at home, using drones for inspections, or even using them as rescue searching vehicles in hostile environments. Even more possibilities open up once the drones bundle their forces to create swarms. The lifting capabilities of drones are still somewhat limited, but in a swarm they might be able to lift heavy payloads. This report covers the design of a concept of a payload carrying swarm, intended to lift cargo up to 500 kg to even the top of a tall building.
