Most land-air amphibious UAVs feature a four-wheel design that limits their adaptability in narrow and uneven spaces. This study proposes the rotor flywheel as a new land-air design that integrates a one-wheel structure and eight-rotor wings for more flexible motion. The dynamics model is then conducted with the Kane method, finding two power-saving self-balance state while rolling. Its controller...
