Conventional unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) exhibit high vulnerability to accidental collisions, which limits their operation in rugged and high-risk environments. While tensegrity has been explored in terrestrial robotics and architectural structures, its application to drones represents an emerging research field with scarce documented precedents, giving this work a novel character within the regional aerospace community. This article presents the design, fabrication, and implementation of a UAV based on tensegrity principles, a structural approach that distributes compression and impact forces through a continuous network of tension elements, endowing the vehicle with inherent collision resilience. The drone's structure was built as a 6-strut icosahedron tensegrity, composed of wooden rods and high-strength cables, achieving a favorable balance between stiffness, lightness, and collision resilience. The propulsion system integrates brushless motors mounted on the structure's rods, while flight control is managed by a Speedybee F405 V3 controller running Betaflight firmware, selected for its integrated FC and ESC, low cost, and commercial availability. The geometric design criteria, material selection, assembly process, and electronic architecture of the system are described in detail. Preliminary results show that the tensegrity structure can absorb and redistribute impact loads without compromising the integrity of the flight system, validating its potential for applications in high-risk environments. Ongoing work includes controlled flight testing and impact flight trials with the final prototype.
