This is Part 3 in the ‘Diary of a Flying Car Engineer’ SeriesSource: ▻https://dribbble.com/shots/1771066-QuadcopterThis articles discusses the physics behind Flights.PhysicsThe Rotors act as wings. They generate thrust by rotating at Fast speeds, which pulls the air downwards and keeps the quad in the air.The Thrust cancels out the acting weight and the quad hovers.A directional Thrust causes the quad to move in that direction.Or a decrease in Thrust overall causes the Drone to lose height.Setup:The setups for Flying is simple:Two adjacent motors spin in the opposite direction.Two opposite motors spin in the same direction.A,C spin Clockwise (From our point of view)B,D Spin Counter-ClockwiseWhy?Physics says to be in stability the net forces acting on a body should be zero.So if all the rotors (...)
