The design-idea is kinda cool, but that thing would just flip over and over all the time if it generates enough lift for takeoff. You would need another thing like this on top that equalizes torque or something. Then you have turbulences like mad, so you would have to come up with some more turbulence-resistant airfoil-design that increase in angle of attack along the length of the apparatus. You might also want to cover front and back to enable a somewhat of a linear airflow. I don't think there's any future in this design, but I would love to see a small scale model!

Interesting idea, I’m guessing those black boxes were electric motors so there’ll be a sizeable battery. There’s certainly a lot going on with all those airfoils and cams/followers as well, I bet it would make quite a commotion just getting of the ground. That’s scary enough but I’m trying to imagine being the pilot. Looking forward to seeing the RC model prototype.

Cyclocopters have mobility advantages over helicopters, with a helicopter you have to pitch or roll the cyclic to travel somewhere. That means you have to rotate the whole craft. Cyclocopters can adjust their blades in such a way as to produce offset thrust and move without pitching or rolling at all

You've got the "caterpillar tracks" (left and right) so just separate them, so there's one along the left and another along the right. In between, there is space, so the pilot can sit there above the blades. Alternatively, like a helicopter, the pilot can sit BELOW the blades.

I like the consept, especally if the treads could work on land, and possibly water as well. But I don't see where the forward momentum comes from. The simplest way to see if this would actually work is to 3D print a model. The hard part's already been done, all the parts are already drawn and scaled properly to fit together. They just need to be translated into stl code, which most CAD doftware can do. Put the parts on Thingiverse or wherever. I would love to build one! Let the masses do your proof of consept for you.

Hi Does anybody know who work with linear motor and maglev designing. I would like to lose the sprocket and chain system and replace it with linear dc drive and maglev bearing support.

@razeyoshi3 жыл бұрын
I’m impressed with the animation, that took a lot of work, however, this design won’t work due to air not being able to pass very well through the passenger compartment. Even if the center of it was empty it would be too dangerous of a design. One component comes off track and it would jam up the whole system and be a brick in the sky. I believe this video was most likely intentionally made for KZbin views and comments. Basically click bait.

No, the trailing edges of the blades are controlled by the track. This means that the incidence of each blade is controlled by what the track does. As the track is moved, also inclined, the blades develop incidence. Furthermore, the track is inclined, so the blade incidence at the front of the cyclocopter is different to the blade incidence at the rear of the cyclocopter. Ergo, differential lift from front to rear. Also the left track is separate to the right track so you have roll control. This gives you a roll control dole bowl. Imagine Wind In The Willows, and Mole was the pilot. Then you would have Mole roll control dole bowl.

No, the trailing edges move up or down depending how the track is inclined. If you move the track up, all the trailing edges will be up. BUT... The track is inclined, so at the front the track may be down, so the trailing edges are lower at the front. Ergo, lower trailing edges means positive lift. *BUT* ... the track is inclined so you can choose positive lift at the front and negative lift at the rear.
