Hi everyone - new here.
I’ve been building a bio-inspired heavy-lift VTOL simulation environment to explore ideas related to the 2026 DARPA Lift Challenge. The simulator generates and evaluates different multirotor configurations, including some unusual layouts inspired by nature.
This is just a technical demo I developed independently - and I’d really appreciate input from people with hands-on RC building and flying experience:
• What design constraints matter most when trying to lift serious payloads?
• Have you experimented with high rotor-count aircraft or mixed propulsion types?
• What practical limits do you run into as weight scales up?
Thanks - excited to learn from this community.
