🚁 Rescue Evacuation Drone: Multirotor Payload and Range Lab
An 8-rotor heavy-lift drone carries a supply pod or rescue litter across a flooded valley, with momentum-theory hover power, Glauert forward flight, battery sag, wind and a 6-DOF PD flight controller with rotor-out redundancy. An experiment finds the maximum payload for a given range and compares it with a closed-form energy balance.
