Electrotor-Simplex

~ Simple Electric Principal Assembly for Ultralight Twin Rotor UAV and ULR ~

Objective:

To perhaps develop the first manned electric helicopter. A craft that is light and simple, but not necessarily easy to fly.

To provide the foundation for more advanced Electrotor helicopters.

Potential future applications; A quiet Unmanned Arial Vehicle. A recreational manned helicopter.

Sketches of the sub-assemblies, plus a discussion on Rotary Wing Forum.

Overview:

An Ultralight helicopter where each of the two rotors is driven by its own electric motor and power-train.

A Side-by-Side configuration, to provide optimal lift-to-power ratio.
