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 (...)

Disclaimer: This Series is focussed on Sharing what I have learnt during my Flying Car Nanodegree, for cooler stuff on Flying Cars, Check out The Official nanodegree.5AM. Valentine’s Day.I was staring impatiently at my Phone Screen.Remember when I said My dream has been working on Self Driving Cars? I Lied.Image: Back to The Future PosterI’ve always dreamed about Flying Cars after watching Back to the Future movie. I’ve grown up watching the series and have always fantasised about pushing a button and transforming my car into hover mode whenever I’m stuck in traffic and I’ve wasted endless hours thinking how I could fly from my apartment to university.Ofcourse I’m passionate about Self Driving Cars. But Flying Cars have always been a dream. If you don’t feel the same. I refuse to believe (...)
