Side force generator for drone racing examples

thingiverse

FPV racing multirotors equipped with side force generators (SFGs) experience significantly reduced drifting during turns, making them potentially faster on racing tracks. To achieve this, SFGs must be strategically positioned and dimensioned to align the aerodynamic center with the center of mass. If not properly aligned, they will fail to function effectively. Examples of SFG placement can be adapted to suit individual quad designs. The step files provided allow for easy editing to accommodate unique configurations. For further insight into the design and functionality of SFGs in FPV racing, visit the detailed description and background information at https://shrediquette.blogspot.com/2017/10/side-force-generators-sfgs-in-fpv-racing.html.
