Monocopter

66.6k PPLLAANNEE  5 months ago

An aircraft that is basically a big propeller with one blade. Inspired by many youtube videos of these flying.

Throttle up to start spinning, the wheel is unpowered. Trim down to lift up and trim up to go down.

The landing gear also functions as a directional indicator. It shows which direction pitch up and down and roll left and right will tilt you.

It uses only one large control surface that oscillates at the same frequency of the spinning to tilt the aircraft. It can glide downward very slowly but you lose good control of pitch and roll while gliding.
