This paper presents novel quadrotor structures composed of only clockwise rotors. A multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) generally has both clockwise and counterclockwise rotors to counteract the torques from the rotors. While the proposed structures have only clockwise rotors, those rotors are tilted to cancel the torques around the yaw angle of the body. This paper investigates the condition...
