We're aerospace engineers but this is our first big project combining aircraft design, modeling, and construction. The design part of this project has been happening for about a year and we're starting to get into modeling and construction. We feel we need a bit (a lot, actually) of help in this part of the project.

I've attached a render of our proposed design, which has been tested in Solidworks and ANSYS.

We realize we are a bit over our heads because we are in no way experts in any area, I haven't even mentioned we are trying to give this aircraft VTOL capabilities... but I don't even want to get to that part lol.

Anyways thank you for your response, we are currently starting to research more about balsa wood construction.

EDIT: I can't upload any photos until I have 10 posts, kind of a dumb rule tbh.
