If it's performing maneuvers as complex as described, it must be heavily computer assisted or computer controlled, so you'd presumably need sensors, computer, etc, that adds a lot of weight. On top of that, the speeds they describe coupled with the wind they said it was fighting, it would need to be very well built. Given all the factors, I think it would probably have to be extremly extremly advance.
- DuskStar 5y agoSensors and computers aren't meaningfully different for a 5' quadrotor vs a 5" micro. Same physics, same control loop.
- greesil 5y agoYeah but you can put a radar and nice camera on the 5' one.
- pillefitz 5y agoSensors and computers weigh next to nothing. Every piece of cheap plastic commonly used for building quadcopters fulfills your criterion of being 'very well built'. Nothing about your description makes a drone 'extremely advanced'. Just a hobby project of some random guy/gal.
- jcims 5y agoComputers are 100% required for motor coordination and other low level flight details with a multirotor uav, but in terms of piloting the aircraft a typical human brain is quite capable with practice. https://youtu.be/SldJIisWFmE https://youtu.be/SldJIisWFmE
