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

Multicopters zijn kleine luchtvaartuigen met meerdere rotors, in tegenstelling tot traditionele helikopters met één hoofdrotor. Een traditionele helikopterrotor heeft variabele pitch, waardoor de piloot lift en sturen kan regelen. Multicopters vertrouwen echter op rotors met vaste pitch. Sommige draaien met de klok mee en sommige draaien tegen d...
