Spinning Quadrotor: Hover Thrust Augmentation with Passive Lifting Surfaces
This paper proposes a spinning quadrotor architecture that intentionally sustains yaw rotation to convert power previously wasted on heading regulation into useful aerodynamic lift, achieving a 22% reduction in required thrust through the use of passive lifting surfaces.
