Thanks Adam! It was awesome having you visit the lab here at UNR! Note to everyone here in the comments: Adam only provided a small snapshot of what we've been working on. There are other projects that I've been pouring all my energy into; something larger than the MiniHawk, which might make a bigger splash, literally? 😉
Thought i will see a nice little aircraft. Saw the most military usable thing in a long time. Walking robot dog with a autonomous long range drone attached which can fly precisely and and makes high quality pictures
Great video, very interesting, I fly rc, 99% fixed wing, have had a tri-copter too, Stephen is very lucky to have the position he has to be able to work and enjoy his 'hobby'....Thanks for sharing with us!!
Great job! However I always though that it would be probably better that the motor pods would be fixed on the wings and the entire wings tilt instead of just motors because : - air would be always free around the motors (dont need to make long motor pods to get clearance) - in transition lift ratio between propellers and wing should increase/decrease more smoothly - only one big servo for the entire wing should save few weight There is probably some reasons why most vtol don't use this design? What are these reasons?
the vertical stabilizers could you double them up and have 2 fold down over the rear fan during forward flight yes you will end up with a low pressure zone behind the plane where the flow is disturbed but you would most likely gain more in friction reduction
This should have been the Osprey design, eliminating the stability issues. With tilting rotors not engines(like the Valor). The dead weight rear motor could also be dealt with -in the manner its done on the VTOL F35
beautiful machine and a great story from the Author! The link to steve in description does not work unfortunately! Are wings 3d printed as well? Couldn't tell
@@RCwithAdam1 thank you for the clarification! I also found the capability to autonomously fly, land, charge and take off extremely impressive! Wonder how far you could push that :D
Is this impressive? High school robot team built a solar charging hopping fixed wing drone like this back in ~2010, and were by no means the first, what's new here?

...very much looking forward to your bigger design!
What an opportunity for visiting this guys, keep up the good work.
tilting wing tiltrotor prevents up ending when wind conditions aren't favourable but will need clearance around
Outstanding.

I love your approach and the design looks very slick (beautiful lines). Thanks for sharing!

Thatllookslike a good tig to let ooff the throttle and glide down quiet

Change your propellers to toroidal ones, they are more efficient. They’re also more quiet.
What's the Xbee that you used to connect it to your pc please
Which program is used to configure the ardupilot, INAV or others, maybe there is a ready-made sketch for an example? I would be very grateful

What is the flight time??
可以打印这架飞机的 3D 打印机的最小尺寸是多少？please tell me
What is the minimum size of a 3D printer that can print this airplane?
So cool. What does the designer think about jumper making money off his design?
He was not amused.
2:56 how about tilting the motor 90° and using the force in normal flight?
Yes, that would be helpful, but on scale models it will drain the battery, and reduce flight time
more people control
60m/s? I doubt that :)

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the link. Yes! The wings are also 3D printed.
