Attitude control characteristics of manned multicopter

Abstract

A general flying automobile has two type mechanism. One is based on fixed-wing aircraft, and the other is based on rotary wing aircraft. In this study, we aim to develop a rotary wing aircraft model. Based on a rotary wing aircraft, we can make it smaller size than a fixed-wing aircraft model. Additionally, a rotary wing aircraft can take off and land vertically. Therefore, there is the merit that we can use it on the general road without needing a special runway. On the other hand, there are some problems to solve. For example, we have to secure enough thrust to let a heavy body fly, and have to consider the influence by the change of a center of gravity accompanying weights of occupants. In order to solve these problem, we consider control characteristics on the experimental aircraft.
