G+_Jason Marsh Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Eddie Foy You got it all wrong; it's "hold my beer." So the Army did this (kind of) back in the '70's and decided it was a horrible idea. There must be specs, calculations and designs from that project available online somewhere.

G+_610GARAGE Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Jason Marsh I think I heard of that. I believe the reason they gave it up is because it used just too much power. Interesting side note. The quadcopter was designed in the early 1900s as to a possible solution for helicopters. It was given up due to the work load induced on onto the pilot. Found that out a couple nights ago. Couldn't sleep. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
