  1. 1. Small scale VTOL aircraft using only one lift-producing motor : A study of lift capacity for a Vertical Take-Off and Landing capable aircraft

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Daniel Milenkovic; [2023]
    Keywords : Aircraft; VTOL; EDF; Mechatronics; Ardupilot; Luftfarkost; VTOL; EDF; Mekatronik; Ardupilot;

    Abstract : The usage of unmanned aerial vehicles in applications such as terrain mapping and surveillance is proliferating in the modern world. This project aims to investigate the feasibility, in terms of payload capacity and stability, of small scale winged aircraft that have the ability to lift and land vertically, while also being able to transition to normal forward flight using wings for primary lift.
