  • Hi

    Ive been working on a similar concept but how are you compensation for in flight pitch? The role of the horizontal stabilizer is replace by the rapid movement of the tilt rotor mechanism? Compensation of the roll moments?

    This disadvantage of quadrotor as you stated is the inefficiency as the rotors are doing all the work compensating for the weight vector. In flight the aerodynamic lift will equate to >weight component and forward thrust will obviously propel the aircraft forward. Have you considered the effect of the increasing the free stream velocity over the wing and its effects on lift?

    I love the idea and generated something similar. Would like to know your view.
