The Spinning Drone Paradox - Part 1

Generally speaking, if your drone starts spinning incredibly fast, you have a serious problem. But here’s the twist: (ba-dum-tsss) with the right design, spinning actually provides a substantial increase in hovering efficiency due to some clever exploitation of the laws of physics. *Patreon:* *My Website:* *FREE print files and parts list to build your own:* *Part 2 – Forward Flight Testing:* *Part 3 – The Extraordinary Redundancy of Spinning Drones:* There are plenty of spinning VTOL drones that are inspired by the maple seed. This type of drone has always caught my interest because the complexity of controlling it as it spins always seemed to outweigh whatever benefits it provided, if any. So, I decided it was time to figure out what makes these unique spinning VTOL drone
