Eggcopter

thingiverse

The primary objective of this design lies in the deliberate manipulation of the load distribution on the egg upon impact, rather than reducing its fall speed. Although the drop speed remains high enough, the focus is on ensuring that the load is dispersed evenly in one direction when it hits a surface. The main function of the blades is to guarantee a strict vertical descent and direct impact on the ground at the desired point within the container, aligned vertically with the egg. With radial load distribution on the eggshell, it can withstand tens of kilograms!
