Is THIS the Most Versatile Aircraft Design? (Forward Flight Testing)

In part 1 of this series, we explored this unique drone concept and demonstrated a more efficient way for a multirotor drone to fly by essentially turning itself into a tip-jet helicopter. In this video, we take it a step further and try out fast forward flight. Patreon: Part 1 - The Spinning Drone Paradox: AIR Lab’s Transformable HOvering Rotorcraft (THOR): In the drone world, there’s a bit more flexibility in aircraft design since we don’t have to worry about carrying a human payload. A classic multirotor converted to a tip-propelled design with the addition of rotor blades mounted on rotating arms is the perfect way to drastically increase hovering efficiency with the only downside being the fast rotation rate of the whole vehicle. This may pose an immediate challenge to integrating a camera payload, but there are plenty of other applications too. With so
