This drone swaps normal props for 3D-printed ducted fans for quieter, safer flight

Cosmos Network showed off an experimental drone that replaces standard propellers with 3D-printed ducted fans, where swirling white shrouds fully enclose the blades. The ducted design cuts tip vortices, boosts low-speed thrust, and makes the craft quieter and safer — experimental aerodynamics you can actually fly.
