    The concept of a human scale drone has been done 100x and they all have the same performance limitations. What are you hoping to achieve when the real hurdle is battery energy density?

      A chance to jump that hurdle. 😁 You're absolutely right, that is what is holding all the electric aircraft back at the moment. But that shouldn't stop us from making designs. That's the only thing that's going to push technology forward.

      What should stop you from making designs though is your terrible ability to find a useful center of gravity. You are not pushing design you were taking it down a dark alley. Lol

    What's the advantage of this prop configuration compare to a traditional quad prop?

      Good question. First is that it gets you out in front which seems to me would be a lot of fun. Secondly when coupled with sensors like GPS and proximity sensors you could approach an object while in flight very closely. Imagine bridge inspections or work on cell towers. Tons of applications come to mind.

    How come you cant just sell the skypak V2 it has guards and people will be happy even if they get off the ground for a little bit unless if there is a safety thing i am missing.

    • @AscendDynamics

      We may be able to do something like that. Kind of a kit or quick build. Like what Jetson is doing. Safety is a big thing. Mainly in two areas. first is in the flight control software/hardware. Second is in making sure the rest of the system is robust and redundant. Figure those out and I think we can sell V2 or the following derivative.

    cool! the noise though...

    • @AscendDynamics

      Yep! The ducts we will put on for SkyPak V2 should help with that while making it safe for manned flight.

      ​@@AscendDynamics Great. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

    When do you think super capacitors will be useful enough to work on this.

    How much efficiency do you lose due to friction.

    • @AscendDynamics
      @AscendDynamics  2 года назад

      That is a complex question. If we are talking friction in the mechanical design, then there are only 24 bearings to consider and the friction is negligible. If we talk friction losses from the propellers, then there is a very significant amount that is only part of the overall drag of the prop in the air. I believe that is part of the parasitic drag as they term it vs. inductive drag? I would have to go grab the text book. LOL!

    How much weight was it carrying in this video? Or was it a demo for the controls?

    • @AscendDynamics
      @AscendDynamics  2 года назад

      In that configuration all up weight was about 165lb. The SkyPak weighed about 85lb and the test frame was 80lb. This is proof of concept. Next version will have a lot more thrust to we can start manned flight testing.

    What could possibly go wrong? Lol
