OG, I never said it wasn't possible to fly a quad with a prop loss. What I did say, is that the P4 can't do it, and nobody has shown it outside of laboratory conditions. re: Bill's video That is a tiny quadcopter which makes the job much easier as it has much more control bandwidth. Would like to see the same done with anything like a Phantom. And also we have no idea which control system this is using. Nor do we know if it will reliably do it, all day every day.
Again, somebody please show me a Phantom, or any other real-world quadcopter doing this.
For anything with more than 4 props, being able to lose a prop and keep flying is old news. Very old news.
@OG We're quoting what you stated earlier- "the phantom 4 do not need GPS to fly & has cence and ovoid system employed ! if it loses a prop it will not fall out the sky it will still fly!"
Like Rob said, not a Quad or P4...
it is possible to fly a quad on three props (with the right algorithm in the flight controller) and I am not saying this is in the P4/P3/A3

The humor in that statement lies in the fact that, as a collective, this community actually does 'know it all'.
OG, can you please show me any DJI quadcopter (not hex) flying with a prop loss?
Actually, I am impressed just by that hexacopter demo, that it can handle spinning that fast. That's half the battle. But still, with a quadcopter you have to solve the additional problem of highly asymmetric thrust. (notice on the hexacopter demo, they removed 3 props in a symmetric pattern).
We have both seen and heard of algorithms that do this and yes the A3 has some of these properties. As someone who also sells and operates P4's, I can assure you, it will not fly on 3 props, Period, end of discussion.
OG, this is easy to prove or disprove - show us the examples on video or the statement from DJI? They'd have to be crazy not to advertise it because it would be a big selling point...
