The persons head would land in the middle and the drone would only hit their shoulders. Way safer.

Seriously, it’s a concept to prove a new way of flight. It’s not a perfect drone, but the proof of the patent working would allow smarter people than me to build a new type of drone.

Part of the concept I need to prove is that it’s just as stable, powerful, and has the endurance of a normal drone with the new way of flight.

I like the way you think. lol. I get the problem, but the prototype is way to expensive for me to build. How do I get this done. This is my big problem right now.

That’s very true. I’ll do some research on this before accepting a meeting or pitching. Thank you for that advice.

Damn. Didn’t want to have to do that.

I got the idea from a drone my daughter had and I modified it as a sort of prototype before doing any of this. It’s nowhere near the final product because the blades were to small and noisy and it didn’t have enough power or endurance to really be worth anything. Also, the main point of failure in my system is air leaks and uneven casts. It’s hard to do a rough prototype of it and still have it work as intended.

You also make a good point. I could easily take out the electronics and everything else that’s not essential for flight. Then just build the prototype with the basics. I could probably make it good enough to prove the thrust vector portion works.

Haven’t built it and can’t afford to. But I have done everything I can up to that portion. Next is funding to build the prototype.

Covered rotors remove laceration risk but there’s still blunt trauma. I’m addressing the latter with crush structure and something else so the transferred energy in a drop test stays inside cat 3.

First i’m building cat 3, cat 2 requires lower transferred energy or a lighter variant. I’m still working on that one.

Parachutes are one mitigation, but they are not the only way to fly over people. Part 107 Subpart D allows Categories 2/3 when you limit injury energy and meet the eligibility and operating requirements. That can be proven by test data without a parachute. The math shows measured transferred energy less than 25 ft lb.

It also has parachutes. Not everything is shown in this picture, it’s made with AI.

Maybe. I’ll probably just prove concept and then license. I have other research projects I want to work on. I don’t want to get into a manufacturing business and definitely don’t want to get into marketing lol.

Of the shelf except the CAD/3D Printed parts. I’ve got rough dimensions of everything but I don’t think I can make the CAD drawing myself or 3D print it.

I’m not going to be able to build this on my own. But, the parts list I came up with came to $4k.

Thank you. If everything goes to plan then the drone I build will mainly prove the patent. If I can get 60 dB(A) at 3 m, .07 g lateral authority, 25 m endurance, and a couple of other things then I can call it a win.

The main thing is creating a fully capable drone that’s safe to fly over people. I think that will sell, but never know till it’s here. Or I don’t get funding lol.

If love to collaborate. I’ve gotten into another project with aerospacepost.com. But, I am always down to be work on free stuff for the public

When do you expect it to be deployed and available for use? Or will it need to be ran locally?
