Hi guys,
I think I invented a new model of VTOL airplane. Correct me if I'm wrong!
It's made of blue insulation foam with the hot wire cutting technic.
My main goal was to create a model easy to fly without any tilting parts (wings and/or rotors) like are the "Osprey", "AW609" and many others. These are heavier and very delicate to control.
My configuration brings the air flows of the props away from the wing and elevator to not create turbulence and therby a lost of lift.
On horizontal flight, at about 20-25 km/h, the vertical thrust vector is not needed anymore and the motors slows. Wich is the opposite with a standard multicopter. Giving my model a much better autonomy.
I don't like the way helicopters and multicopters flies and I prefer a lot to glide like a bird. But I was facinated since a long time about the possibility to takeoff and land verticaly. I did it !
I'm now tuning it. Only 4 flights done but great feeling yet. I cannot wait to put my FPV system on it...
You can see it fly in this video.
