Dear All,we are working on a serious project and aim to have triple redundancy in the control; one of the ways of doing this is purchasing a high end system. Our imagination is however whether it would be possible to use eg 4 pixhawks that can be…
"Nice things on your blog!
Yes we got the comments, but that is OK. if you have no experience, you might worry. Think your little 4 prop plane is interesting!"

"Flight time with batteries in 12 motors config is estmated at 10 min, if we choose lower disk loading it can be 15 to 17 min. So definitively need a range extender. We are working on it!"
"It can be both depending on the function. We have a series of applications in mind. A sports version is only one and will take time.. Best Wnfried"
We succeeded 2015/06/25 with a test flight (craft strapped with 4 ropes) with a 80 kg payload. It only used 8 of the 12 rotors! Next,we want to give you a glimpse on how it will look in future (part with canopy) Hope you enjoy. And for all the…
"Sorry height?"
"Dear Greg that is correct to a certain limit, what would be the minimal rescue hight?

"Dear Tony, great to hear from you. We will follow that path FAA 14 CFR part 27 and do the PFHA. This will be in the step after proof of concept. We feel that you might have interesting skills and knowledge. If such craft would be fully airworthy and…"
"dear Bart currently as designed:
Specs: payload 80 kg,
Dimensions LxM 3 by 4 m but 2.2 by 4 if folded. H 1.5 m
Flight time 10 min batteries, one hour with range extender, expected speed estimated 25 to 30 km/hr.
Full weight 150 to 160 kg
After…"

"Dear Tony, EASA you are correct, FAA we doubt. We think that it can be within FAA regulations. The market is 2 fold: piloted one , and RPAS for different applications like agriculture, surveillance, ambulance, military, we are in discussion with…"
"Dear Frederic, the advantage is that it is more compact 3 by 4 m, more easy to control and handle and lower cost if electric storage becomes better. Completely programmable. Indeed propulsion efficiency is lower as compared to a single rotor, and…"
"Not yet, we had conversations with them in an early stage. We aim to have redundancy by 1) 12 separate power and propulsion systems 2) next to have 3 independent control systems (as with commercial aircraft; there are professional systems we want…"
"It is in the structure or in the rectangular section to reduce weight of cables and reduce losses. The Hybrid version will contain a 35 kW generator set."
"Yes for sure we are in conversation with the manufacturer of such rescue para-equipment. It will be giving us a rescue height of 30 meters, but we can even specialize it to come to 5 meter. I did not no the mule, will check!

"Dear Gary,
It is when piloted from the inside, but as you can see on the pict gallery we have also Remotely Piloted versions in agriculture and firefighting, parcels delivery, etc in mind... "

"Dear Alex, that's correct we have the prop plane at top over the canopy, that at the bottom under it slightly as the props are tilted. When the bottom props would hit the fuselage the person would be projected with a pe-polycarbon layering. We first…"
