Hexacopter Thrust Testing in a Wind Tunnel

Description

Hexacopter thrust testing shows how a six-rotor drone produces lift and drag. Multicopters are popular for hobby and commercial use. They are commonly built as quadcopters, hexacopters, or octocopters, depending on whether they use four, six, or eight thrusters.

This study uses a small modular he...

Transcript

Les multicoptères sont de petits véhicules aériens à plusieurs rotors, par opposition aux hélicoptères traditionnels à un rotor principal. Un rotor d’hélicoptère traditionnel a un pas variable, ce qui permet au pilote de contrôler la portance et la direction. Cependant, les multicoptères reposent sur des rotors à pas fixe. Certains tournent dans...
