A Morphable Aerial-Aquatic Quadrotor with Coupled Symmetric Thrust Vectoring

Yu Herng Tan,Ben M. Chen,Yu Herng Tan,Ben M. Chen

Hybrid aerial-aquatic vehicles have the unique ability of travelling in both air and water and can benefit from both lower fluid resistance in air and energy efficient position holding in water. However, they have to address the differing requirements which make optimising a single design difficult. While existing examples have shown the possibility of such vehicles, they are mostly structurally i...
