About Me:
We are a group of aerospace engineers located in Madrid (though some of us are currently in the UK) who are designing and developing a light UAV. We intend to give a solution to businesses interested in logistics or transportation. Visit us in dbxdrones.com
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Design, development and testing of light UAVs (<20 kg)

"With all the respect: How do you know where you are dropping the cargo if camera is not pointing downwards?As I see in your web page and above comments, the problem you are trying to solve is to drop grenades which I respect but completely repudiate…"
"@Jaime and @TridgeAgree with both.
If comparing full electric quadplane and full electric tilt-rotor: They are both more or less the same in terms of performance. One is more similar to multicopters the other is more similar to fix-wing. It depends…"

"Good job Tridge! I am so glad you made that beast to fly!"
"@Jonny Glad you like it! We are building it for people like you!Your are right, you could point rear prop downwards and then use it for propulsion.The thing is, we haven't seen we need it and want to avoid the mechanical complexity of doing so.But,…"
"@Andreas that is a good point and some of the questions all of us must make. That is why we are making a survey: to understand what people value and need most on drones and to Validate if a VTOL is something interesting.
See here the survey, where…"

"@Bart Thank you guy. There are great plans but it is a hard path to follow. that is why we need your help. Help from people like you and others here that have great experience :)
@JB Absolutely yes. We did design and optimizing everything for…"

Hi there! This is the DBX Drones team. Some time ago we presented you our design concept for a hybrid cargo drone. and since then we have been working on the idea and two months ago we decided to start working full time in this project and found a…
"@iskess Sorry, I didn't understand your previous question. I was answering something different.
Regarding quadplane motors tilting angles: I don't see the advantage of doing that given the complexity that adds. You could do something similar by…"

"@iskess I would tilt the motors enough degrees so that vertical Lift plus vertical Thrust is a reference you give. That depends on TAS and AoAAnother question for the experts like Tridge is how to estimate AoA"
"@Andrew Wow, that is what pioneering has. Congratulations!
Maybe accounting for TAS, AoA and SS in QHOVER controller could help you :)"

"@Andrew Tridgell Amazingly well executed. It is far better to do what you said. I thought it was motors saturation in the video due to yaw channel saturation. If it is yaw rate controlled: Why was it having yaw-roll coupled perturbations then?
I am…"

"Congratulations for the amazing development! It is really inspiring!
Just a question (I hope it helps) When transitioning: Do you control heading or heading rate?"

Can be assume they are using SLAM? "
