Conveying cargo of varying volumes through a drone attachment This conceptualizes a detachable module specifically designed for transporting loads of diverse sizes, enabling flexibility in operations. The carried item can be a medical supply, provisions or anything else securely housed within a cubic compartment, which can accommodate different shapes and capacities by adjusting the support structure, thus ensuring stable placement throughout transit. Features are integrated as follows: 1. Entire component is fully printable via 3D printing technology, facilitating streamlined production. 2. Weight optimization has been considered (solid modeling applications like Solid Edge were used), reducing overall mass while retaining strength, if only for reference purposes since the required version wasn't available initially. 3. Design is modularized to promote versatile integration and reconfiguration without disrupting the system as a whole. 4. For an upgraded iteration of this technology, it also includes a release mechanism that ensures swift dislodging of cargo from any designated destination by engaging the lower struts. 5. Such attachment is universally compatible with various drones without making any significant modifications, further increasing operational scope. 6. Quick and efficient installation process to allow immediate integration onto different aircraft.
