This work investigates design of a drone for transporting valuable objects. All the required components for building the drone and discussed. The drone can carry a maximum payload of 10 kg for a long duration over reasonable distance. This is achieved by using a hybrid mechanism that combines two 25cc fuel engines with four electrical motors operating by two 6S lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries. The hybrid mechanism is chosen as it tackles the electric drone main problems which are: short flight duration and low payload-carrying ability.
