Quadrotor

Things that fly are, in general, cool. My first attempt at powered flight is a small-scale quadrotor. It’s like a helicopter with 4 spinning rotors that provide lift and control where it goes. A key part (the tricky part) of the design is that it be able to fly by itself without any user input. In fact it’s actually too complicated to control without the aid of a computer.

Currently in progress and taking up much of my free time. Follow my updates on my blog, where I explore the design and development process.
