Can someone please help me oh how to design a copter like this on solid works or fusion 360. I’m working on a project in which i need this design shape on my copter. I just want to know how to design those arms like that in the photo those are very aerodynamically perfect. Just an arm tutorial will be also fine. Please help this project is very important :pray::pray:

For Fusion360 there is a free script ‘Airfoil DAT to Spline’, with which Airfoil DAT files can be read in. I would use a symmetrical profile for the arms.

You can do the same thing with Solidworks which is what I know. I have played around with this before using a NACA Airfoil generator and creating an X,Y,Z coordinate file that can be imported to Solidworks when this question has come up before. I only got as far as extruding the foil just to see how it worked.

@dkemxr @Rolf thanks for the reply and for the assistance. However i am new in designing part i understood the part where i have to use an airfoil and how to bring that shape to my software but the problem is i don’t understand how to execute the shape on arms. I have worked on fixed wing aircraft in which i know how to make a wing out of airfoil. Here is a problem I have go make a arm out of airfoil.
Maybe a design tutorial must help…….not a whole full video just an arm design will be okay.
Thank you again for the response

That’s really beyond the scope of this forum unless someone wants to entertain that.
