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

Multicópteros são pequenos veículos aéreos com vários rotores, ao contrário dos helicópteros tradicionais com um rotor principal. Um rotor de helicóptero tradicional tem passo variável, o que permite ao piloto controlar a sustentação e a direção. No entanto, os multicópteros dependem de rotores de passo fixo. Alguns giram no sentido horário e ou...
