An airframe design may include a frame or assembly, and one or more components that may be removably attached to the frame. The frame may include struts, central bulkheads, a tail section, a plurality of wing sections, and motor mounts that are attached together. The one or more attachable components may include a forward fuselage, motors, propellers, motor pod fairings, stabilizer fins, and landing gear that are attached using fasteners. The frame may reduce the number of parts of the airframe design and may also reduce complexity, cost, and weight, while also increasing stiffness and strength. Further, the various attachable components may facilitate fabrication, assembly, and maintenance of an aerial vehicle having the airframe design.
