Pusher-Bottle-Tricopter Part I

thingiverse

Experimental Pusher-Bottle-Tricopter Concept: The Thrustvector (down and back) remains the same on the Yawaxis, which sets this design apart from a standard Tricopter. In forward flight, the Copter should fly level due to its self-righting Pitchaxis. The CG is positioned more towards the front. For more information, visit http://www.shendrones.com/fast-forward/. Future Project: Two parallel-mounted movable Rearpusherpropunits will be added, each swinging in opposite directions to provide full control over the forward Thrustvector (akin to a V-Tail). Templates used for the Rearunit can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3292800.
