Intelligent and Precise Positioning High-definition Aerial Quadcopter

Galaxy’s innovative #wing design seamlessly transitions between VTOL, rapid transit, and varying loitering speeds. The design ensures optimal utilization of all flight equipment throughout every phase of flight operations. The aircraft functions as an electric #canard "puller," with contra-rotating propellers strategically located ahead of the main wing but directly behind the forward canard. The aircraft rapidly or gently converts to a vertical orientation. #Swiveling control surfaces like the canard and outer rear #winglets adapt to prevailing winds for reduced drag and enhanced #control.

Vacation-fascination: Self-regulating passive control systems A splendid view of Lake Garda was topped by the simultaneous appearance of two very fascinating vehicles, which I have never seen in Norway. A surface piercing hydrofoil and a gyrocopter. Both of them are using a clever passive control system using aero/ hydrodynamic effects to be self-regulating. The gyrocopter has no active drive on the main rotor, it's just auto-rotating based on the forward speed courtesy of the small rearward facing propeller. The surface piercing hydrofoil is using the foil angles and varying submergence of the foils to be self stabilizing in curves. Clever stuff!

What are known as Flaps? A flap (Which is also known as a Secondary Flight Controls) is a high-lift device that lowers an aircraft wing's stalling speed at a specific weight. In a fixed-wing aircraft, flaps are typically installed on the trailing edges of the wings. The landing and takeoff distances are shortened with the employment of flaps. When not in use, flaps are retracted since they increase drag. Most aircraft have partial-span flaps installed, which run spanwise from the inboard end of the ailerons to the area close to the wing root. Based on Research, When partial-span flaps are extended, the wing's spanwise lift distribution is changed, with a greater amount of lift coming from the inboard half of the wing and a smaller amount from the outboard half. There exist an abundance of distinct designs for flaps; the selection of a particular design is contingent upon the dimensions, velocity, intricacy, and design era of the aircraft intended for use. The most popular types are 1. Fowler flaps 2. Slotted flaps 3. Plain flaps. Located on the leading edge of the wings, Krueger flaps are a common feature on jet airplanes. hashtag #AerospaceTechnology hashtag #AviationEngineering hashtag #AircraftInnovation hashtag #FlightSystems hashtag #Research hashtag #Linkedinposts

🚀✈🚁 Can helicopters fly without a tail rotor? 🚀✈🚁 ▪️Have you ever wondered why helicopters have that small, rapidly spinning rotor at the tail? It's not just there for show, the tail rotor plays a vital role in keeping the helicopter stable and under control! ▪️The large main rotor on top spins to generate lift, but this spinning also creates a force called torque that tries to spin the helicopter's body in the opposite direction. The helicopter would twirl uncontrollably without something to counteract this force. ▪️That's where the tail rotor comes in. It acts like a small fan, spinning at a high speed in a direction opposite the main rotor. This creates a sideways thrust that cancels out the torque from the main rotor, keeping the helicopter body stable. ▪️However, while the tail rotor is the most common solution, some helicopters use alternative methods to counter torque. For instance, some have two main rotors spinning in opposite directions, eliminating the need for a tail rotor altogether. Another design, called NOTAR (No Tail Rotor), uses a ducted fan in the tail boom to achieve the same anti-torque effect!

1. Flight Controls: ✈️ Roll (lateral tilt) is controlled by Ailerons (green) on the wings. Pitch (nose up/down) is controlled by the Elevator (yellow) on the tail. Yaw (left/right movement) is controlled by the Rudder (orange) on the tail. Spoilers (blue) help reduce lift and control the roll by acting as air brakes. Lower Image: Cockpit Controls: Control Stick: Moves ailerons and elevators. Rudder Pedals: Controls the rudder. Flight Control Computer: Coordinates movement of all surfaces. Air Data System: Provides information about air pressure, altitude, and speed. Actuators: Mechanical devices that move the control surfaces. Fore-plane: Adjusts pitch for added stability. Flaps: Change the shape of the wings to increase lift at lower speeds. Each system works together to keep the aircraft balanced and controllable in flight! ✈️

Why does the An-225 have such a strange empennage with a huge, swept back double tail? The An-225 has a very distinctive empennage, or tail section, that consists of a huge, swept-back double tail with an oversized horizontal stabilizer. The empennage of the An-225 was redesigned from the single vertical stabilizer of the An-124, which is a smaller cargo aircraft that served as the basis for the An-225. The reason for this redesign was to improve the stability and control of the An-225 when carrying large and heavy loads on its back. The double tail provides more vertical surface area and more directional stability than a single tail, especially when the aircraft is flying at low speeds or high angles of attack. The double tail also reduces the interference between the tail and the wing, which can cause a loss of lift or control effectiveness. The double tail also allows for more space between the engines and the tail, which reduces the noise and vibration levels in the cockpit and cabin. The horizontal stabilizer is very large and swept-back to provide more longitudinal stability and pitch control than a conventional horizontal stabilizer. The horizontal stabilizer also acts as a lifting surface that helps to balance the weight of the payload on the back of the aircraft. The horizontal stabilizer has two elevators that can be moved independently or together to adjust the pitch attitude and trim of the aircraft. The An-225 has such a strange empennage because it was designed to handle very challenging aerodynamic conditions and to ensure safe and efficient flight performance when carrying enormous payloads. The empennage of the An-225 is one of the most remarkable features that distinguish it from other aircraft.

I love getting creative with transitions and I use hidden transitions all the time in my FPV drone flythroughs which can be a bit of thankless task, as when they are done right, you can't really see them. 😂 You can definitely see these ones though, but I thought it would be fun to merge a few different tours we have done into one video. #dronetours #fpv #fpvflythrough #transitions

Here’s how our engineers use Propeller to overlay their 3D site model onto the latest site drone survey data. This gives us a visual insight into how the finished works will interact with current site conditions - highlighting any potential clashes or problem areas before the work is carried out. This method also allows us to make quick updates to our model, sharing new data with clients almost instantly.
