Abstract
Purpose
The current manuscript aims to propose a novel multirotor design.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper presents a novel 16-rotor multicopter design named Emerald. The novel design innovations and benefits are disclosed. Comparison to existing 16-rotor designs is carried out. Implementation areas where the novel idea shall yield benefit are discussed. A prototype of the presented design is described.
Findings
The herein proposed 16-rotor design has a number of benefits over existing 16-rotor multicopters. The paper elaborates on those advantages.
Research limitations/implications
The research was limited to prototype testing, as the presented design is a novel concept.
Practical implications
The motivation to research and develop this novel design is implementing the vehicle for stereoscopic photography and reconnaissance. The design is also applicable to carrying payloads while flying indoors.
