DOI: 10.2514/1.c035005
Abstract: This study examines hexacopter performance in hover and forward flight with single rotor failure. A classical configuration (adjacent rotors spinning in opposite directions) and an alternate configuration are considered. The simulation model uses calculates rotor… read more here.
