To be clear I don't think that a bunch of motors with low latency control solve the problem of flying straight in turbulence. I think that it will allow for exploration of a new space of clever approaches to mitigate turbulence for craft with low inertia.
- Alupis 6y agoMaybe. I'd like to see myself. But, I'm highly skeptical for a lot of reasons. This design in particular introduces a lot of turbulent flow over the lift surfaces, and is going to require a lot of fancy logic to ensure the aircraft can remain stable with one or more of it's motors failing. It ads a lot of complexity, to a vehicle where simplicity keeps you safe, particularly at low altitudes where seconds matter when there's a problem.
