Original idea

Owen's design sketch

Three pencil views: from above, from the side and at three quarters. A smooth capsule runs down the middle, four round duct pods hug it in an X, a camera eye looks out of the nose, and a hexagon marks a hatch on top.

That became Orbit Pod, the first design in the viewer. See it in 3D

Inside every body

From your voice to flight

The body can change; the assistant inside it stays the same. ArduPilot on a Kakute H7 Mini flies it, a Radxa Zero 3W thinks, and Claude answers over Wi-Fi.
