quadcopters I am not an aerodynamics person, but as far as i understand the 4-8 rotor configuration works because of how light the involved tech is/has become.

quadcopters I am not an aerodynamics person, but as far as i understand the 4-8 rotor configuration works because of how light the involved tech is/has become. In terms of payload, quads flat out suck. Yes, they are getting better, but currently they cannot haul. I realize we are talking about explosive thrust versus turbine generated thrust, but that alone makes me think this configuration [4 rocket chair] is unfeasible. Just my .02$.
