My Single Fan VTOL design

crd · Sep 12, 2009, 11:31 AM

I'm going to start laser cutting the parts this week and hopefully test this design by the next weekend.

What do you think? Is pretty similar to VTOLicious design with a few changes

seems like a good overall design. The only thing I would consider is to set up the control surfaces and stator vanes with some degree of torque correction built in. that would probably give you more control throw

Will it be setup using elevons with rudder and one gyro for rudder?

I've been thiking about a similar design but using a motor at the top and bottom with counter rotating props. I am just unsure about it actually working.

Counter-rotating engines + elevons + 6 programmable mixes = lots of fun.
