This is something I've wondered about for a long time. Good to see it happen :)
Could it go even longer if the motors burned the fuel directly?
Could fuel motor speeds be controlled with enough bandwidth to remain stable like electric ones?
- ggg9990 9y agoFour separate gasoline engines would be very heavy and a single engine with distribution driveshafts would be mechanically complicated. For fuel-powered rotary wings the speed cannot be varied fast enough to maintain control, so you'd use a collective pitch control on the rotor blades to achieve stable flight.
