‘Diary of a Flying Car Engineer’ or The Physics of Quadcopters Explained | #pitch #roll #yaw #multirotor

Sanyam Bhutani is up to part 3 in their ongoing series ‘Diary of a Flying Car Engineer’:

This articles discusses the physics behind Flights.

Physics
The Rotors act as wings. They generate thrust by rotating at Fast speeds, which pulls the air downwards and keeps the quad in the air.

  • The Thrust cancels out the acting weight and the quad hovers.
  • A directional Thrust causes the quad to move in that direction.
  • Or a decrease in Thrust overall causes the Drone to lose height.
