Why are we trying to supersize drones and not use helicopters?
- arcticwombat 8y ago1. Because drones are really cool. 2. Because throwing cpu power at them to solve the stabilization issue turns it from a mechanical project to an electronics project, which appeals to geeks everywhere who don't have much of any fabrication experience. 3. Also, see #1 above :)
- anotheryou 8y agoYou do have less unique moving parts. Just one per rotor, all the same. I think that's a big plus. No jesus bolt, no variable angles of attack, no gearbox. I also don't know how well electronic motors scale, maybe a bit smaller is better?
