The force of air upward on the blades as they fall is what causes the paper roto-copter spin. As the roto-copter air presses on each ofthe blades with an equal force, but in opposite direction.

We will use roto-copters to simulate helicopters and experiment to find out how to make them stay in the air longer as they fall. Using a pre-built roto-copter, demonstrate how to launch the …

The ability of copter drones to navigate and hover in confined spaces, coupled with advancements in miniaturized sensors and efficient propulsion systems, has made them indispensable tools …

In this paper, a linear mathematical model for a quad copter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is derived. The three degrees of freedom (3DOF) and six degrees of freedom (6DOF) quad …

cs, as they pertain to position control and trajectory tracking flight. The effects of aerodynamics on a movin quadrotor heli-copter are analyzed, through theory, and by experiment. Results are …

As can be seen from the plot, the copter stabilizes itself at approximately 8.5 meters, causing a steady-state error. At 10 seconds, I switched to a PID controller, and it quickly responded to …

Using the allowed supplies (paper, index cards, paper clips, scissors, ruler), your team needs to design a Roto-Copter. Draw a labeled sketch of your design and get it approved by Ms. …
