A drone, or quadcopter as it's technically called, typically has four propellers to generate enough thrust to let it hover in the air. The propellers are arranged in such a way to counterbalance the ...

In this series, I will be building a single propeller spherical drone which will be controlled via an Arduino. I have designed this drone in Solidworks 3D CAD software and I will be making all of the ...

Researchers at TU Delft have developed a new hybrid drone that takes off like a helicopter before tilting 90 degrees and then continuing to fly like an aircraft. The drone does this using mainly a ...

Despite being integral to aviation for more than a century, propellers have changed remarkably little since the Wright Brothers. A team at MIT’s Lincoln Lab has developed a new propeller shape that ...

Every moving part a machine has is just another thing that can (and will) eventually fail. So what do you do if you want to maximize longevity and durability? Cut down on those as much as possible, to ...
