Un-Folding a Quadcopter to Increase Efficiency - Part 1

Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video--check out their website for an instant quote on custom PCBs, 3D printing, or even CNC machined parts: If you take a large, efficient wing and fold it up into a box, you can turn it into a quadcopter. This sounds kind of silly, but I promise there’s some distinct benefits to controllability in hover, and efficiency in forward flight. *Patreon:* *My Website:* *How a tailsitter transition works:* *Can wingtip-mounted motors improve efficiency?:* *Peter’s mini quadrotor biplane:* Tail-sitter VTOL designs are a hilariously simple approach to the challenges of mashing an airplane and a helicopter together. Just make a flying wing take off from its tail and pitch over 90 degrees into forward
