Rotary-wing flying machines draw attention within the UAV community for their in-place hovering capability, and recently, holonomic motion over fixed-wings. In this paper, we investigate about the power-optimality in a mono-spinner, i.e., a class of rotary-wing UAVs with one rotor only, whose main b…
The seminal work cited in [1],[2] showed, for the first time, that flight stability of quadcopters would be possible in case of one or even multiple rotor failures. However, the quadcopter can remain airborne only by going through a spinning maneuver about an axis, fixed w.r.t the vehicle (i.e., res…
A special type of rotary-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), called Quadcopter have prevailed to the civilian use for the past decade. They have gained significant amount of attention within the UAV community for their redundancy and ease of control, despite the fact that they fall under an under-a…
