Vertical Lift Design
Our research started by compiling accessible data and existing research from companies like NASA and Nashville CFI. These research topics range from rotor design in helicopters to the dynamic airflow of a baseball. This research has pushed us into action.
Our theoretical design is a combination of rotor-based lift with an internal turbine and airflow channel support. All compiled with an unorthodox drone/manned aircraft shape.
This original design was a 15 foot tall manned vehicle concept that is being diverted into a drone. This smaller scale unmanned air vehicle was a inspired by the DARPA Drone initiative in 2026. Although participation in said competion is uncertain, the design still carries forward regardless.
