>>2060067>why are zoomers and techbros so OBSESSED with the quadrotor form factor? what was wrong with one big rotor and a cyclic/collective control?Quadcopters are more responsive and easier to control because they allow you to remove unnecessary control surfaces and replace larger single rotors with 4 smaller rotors that don't carry as much momentum. The only reason they haven't been feasible until recently is because they generally need flight computers to maintain stability
>yeah but so are helicoptersHelicopters can autorotate on engine out though so they can still potentially land safely, I don't think quadcopters can do this though because the rotors are too small
