FT Explorer VTOL

August 2018 - September 2019

Maker Fair Exhibit

Story:

After building many remote controlled airplanes and drones, I decided to merge the two into one singular VTOL (Vertical TakeOff and Landing) aircraft. VTOLs are not only cool, but have many usefull applications as they allow aircrafts to take off without a runway and maintain efficient horizontal flight.
