Engineering to achieve movements across all three axes of rotation
In the preceding sections, we have studied the physics behind the different motions of the drone, meaning hover and motion across roll, pitch, and yaw. What forces derive these movements and help us to achieve motion across all directions? In this topic, we will learn about the engineering that is applied to the drone to achieve these forces across this direction and how we play around with the mechanics of the drone using this engineering.
Hover motion
The following conditions are to be met for this motion:
- Weight: the motors are rotated up to a speed where the total force produced by the rotors becomes equal to the weight of the drone; hence, the resultant force becomes zero, and the drone hovers at a particular place.
- Moment: Since the length of all arms is the same and the forces produced by the rotors are also equal and opposite, which cancels out each other, this makes the resultant force zero...
