ALT A top view of a blue drone with a snub oval front in red, two small propellors and a broad flat wing with a moderate aspect ratio. The tail is flat and rectangular, with a curved, tapered body almost like a whales tail that leads up to it.
ALT The front view of the same drone, with a deflector in front of the cargo bay. It shows wheels at 45 degree angles. You cannot see the tail above the wing to give you some idea of how the plane is shaped. You can see the nose, the wing, and the wheels all aligned.
ALT The same front view of the drone without a deflector in front of the cargo bay, so it is just a box protruding out from underneath the plane. It is perfectly aligned and in the middle, around half the size of the nose.
ALT A side view of the drone, showing the wheel placements along with the curved whale tail rear leading up to the flat tail. You can see the actual shapes of the airfoils in this image. They are flat bottomed ones, a good choice for lift at a slow airspeed.
ALT The image shows the freebies available, including several colourful posters, an assignment planner, a 2021 year planner and a bookmark.
ALT Green plastic wing ribs that have been 3d printed and cleaned up for placing inside the wing of the drone.
ALT A laminated card held in front of a notebook and pen. The card has a rainbow striped border and text "I cannot follow fast verbal instructions. Please slow down and give me time to process each point before starting the next. I may also need to take notes."
