MODUFLY

Designing a Smarter, More Versatile Flight System for a Changing World.

ModuFly was created to solve a common limitation in drone design. Most drones are built for a single task and become impractical outside that purpose. Instead of requiring multiple specialized systems, ModuFly introduces a modular platform that lets users switch payloads and redefine the drone’s role. Whether it’s delivering cargo, capturing aerial footage, or performing agricultural work, ModuFly adapts seamlessly to the task at hand. By uniting flexibility, efficiency, and purposeful design, it proves that one drone can truly do it all.

GOAL

Develop a modular drone platform with interchangeable payloads that can perform multiple tasks in parallel—maximizing flexibility, uptime, and future readiness.

01 Research

Competitor Research

The Agras T25 is a compact agricultural drone designed for precision spraying and spreading. With advanced sensors, terrain-following radar, and a high payload capacity, it supports efficient single-operator use across diverse farming tasks.

Pros:

Handles spraying and spreading tasks
Advanced obstacle sensing
Compact and easy to transport

Cons:

Only works with fixed payloads
Relatively expensive
Limited to agricultural use

Agras 25t

The DJI FlyCart 30 is a heavy-lift drone built for versatile cargo delivery in tough environments. It offers stable transport and precise delivery options, with advanced sensors and rugged design for safe, all weather operation in emergency response and remote supply missions.

Pros:

Carries heavy cargo for long-distance delivery
Advanced obstacle sensing and safety features
Rugged and reliable in tough environments

Cons:

Limited to delivery tasks only
Expensive for small operators
Requires skilled operators

FlyCart

The Matrice 30T is used as a professional grade drone for critical missions such as search & rescue, infrastructure inspection (including power lines, bridges, and roofs), public‑safety surveillance, environmental monitoring, and industrial site assessments.

Pros:

Multi-sensor payload for versatile missions
Strong obstacle avoidance and all-weather use
Long flight time with reliable communications

Cons:

High cost limits access for smaller teams
Complex system needing skilled pilots
Payloads are fixed, not easily swapped

02 Design Opportunity

Most drones on the market are designed for a single task, which limits their versatility and quickly makes them obsolete as needs evolve. A modular, high performance drone with interchangeable payloads provides a flexible and future ready solution that adapts to a wide range of applications. This approach eliminates the need for multiple specialized drones, reducing costs while improving efficiency and capability across industries.

03 Exploration

Payload Capacity

ModuFly represents a shift in how we think about drone design, moving from single purpose tools to a truly adaptive aerial platform. Its modular payload slider system allows users to easily swap attachments for different missions, from cargo delivery to aerial imaging or agricultural spraying. This flexibility redefines what one drone can achieve while reducing material waste and manufacturing redundancy. Designed with efficiency, sustainability, and user freedom in mind, ModuFly sets a new standard for versatility in the sky.

Flight Time

Built with a lightweight carbon fiber subframe and powered by high efficiency motors, ModuFly is designed for both performance and endurance. Its 17Ah lithium ion power system enables it to carry payloads of up to 12 kilograms over distances greater than 25 kilometers. Paired with its modular payload system, this design allows users to quickly configure the drone for delivery, imaging, or agricultural missions, demonstrating that versatility and efficiency can exist together in a single, sustainable platform.
