Electric motors are a pretty important part of this design. The throttle response is much quicker than is possible using gas powered engines. This allows the craft to self stabilize in a way that isn’t possible without near instantaneous throttle response. This response is possible with gas motors, but normally requires variable pitch props to respond fast enough which adds a lot of weight and failure points. We already have fixed wing drones, vtol fixed wing drones, quadcopters, etc that are effectively open source, from off the shelf components, and an order of magnitude cheaper. I’m very curious what the army thinks this can do that isnt already being done by various YouTubers in their backyard.
