The Printing
The Printing
As the program launched, and the Tello EDU's were pushed to their limit, Shreyas's noticed a critical problem. The DJI Tello's had a 12 minute battery life. They weren't as fast. Shreyas's then designed an STL, and began the printing on his Ender 3 Pro printer. After a few hours of tinkering, They were printed into perfection, and perfectly fit the drone.
The Test Flight
The Test Flight
Once the printing & assembly was compete, Shreyas first took the Regular drone up. It totaled out at 12 minutes, 4 seconds. Afterward, the Ducted Prop Drone went. It totaled out a hover of 11 minutes, 59 seconds. A difference of 5 seconds, carrying an extra 20 grams.

Findings:
I am proud to say that the ducted props were a success. The total weight of ducted props were 20grams. The take-off weight of the Tello was 100grams.
Quantitative Data:
Non-Ducted Flight Time: 12 minutes, 14seconds, 81ms.
Ducted Flight Time: 11 minutes, 59 seconds, 04ms.
With the flight time, we also have to consider the fact that the drone was carrying an extra 20grams of weight, which proves that they make the drone more effective.
Qualitative Observations:
The ducted prop drone seems slightly more stable, and accelerated quite a lot after. The Climb Rate of the drone felt significantly slower, however, the pitch forward of the drone was greatly increased.
