The MiniHawk is a trimotor Vertical TakeOff & Landing unmanned aircraft capable of FPV and autonomous flight. Let's head over to the University of Nevada at Reno to meet with the designer of this aircraft, Steve Carlson, and learn more about the design and features. Then we'll head out to the desert to do some FPV flying!

Thanks Adam! It was awesome having you visit the lab here at UNR! Note to everyone here in the comments: Adam only provided a small snapshot of what we've been working on. There are other projects that I've been pouring all my energy into; something larger than the MiniHawk, which might make a bigger splash, literally? 😉

...very much looking forward to your bigger design!
What an opportunity for visiting this guys, keep up the good work.
I love your approach and the design looks very slick (beautiful lines). Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding.
Thought i will see a nice little aircraft. Saw the most military usable thing in a long time. Walking robot dog with a autonomous long range drone attached which can fly precisely and and makes high quality pictures
Change your propellers to toroidal ones, they are more efficient. They’re also more quiet.
Great video, very interesting, I fly rc, 99% fixed wing, have had a tri-copter too, Stephen is very lucky to have the position he has to be able to work and enjoy his 'hobby'....Thanks for sharing with us!!
Thatllookslike a good tig to let ooff the throttle and glide down quiet
Great job! However I always though that it would be probably better that the motor pods would be fixed on the wings and the entire wings tilt instead of just motors because : - air would be always free around the motors (dont need to make long motor pods to get clearance) - in transition lift ratio between propellers and wing should increase/decrease more smoothly - only one big servo for the entire wing should save few weight There is probably some reasons why most vtol don't use this design? What are these reasons?
the vertical stabilizers could you double them up and have 2 fold down over the rear fan during forward flight yes you will end up with a low pressure zone behind the plane where the flow is disturbed but you would most likely gain more in friction reduction
So cool. What does the designer think about jumper making money off his design?

He was not amused.
This should have been the Osprey design, eliminating the stability issues. With tilting rotors not engines(like the Valor). The dead weight rear motor could also be dealt with -in the manner its done on the VTOL F35
Which program is used to configure the ardupilot, INAV or others, maybe there is a ready-made sketch for an example? I would be very grateful
more people control
What is the flight time??
60m/s? I doubt that :)
可以打印这架飞机的 3D 打印机的最小尺寸是多少?please tell me

What is the minimum size of a 3D printer that can print this airplane?
2:56 how about tilting the motor 90° and using the force in normal flight?
@vargheseck-pg2wy

Yes, that would be helpful, but on scale models it will drain the battery, and reduce flight time
beautiful machine and a great story from the Author! The link to steve in description does not work unfortunately! Are wings 3d printed as well? Couldn't tell

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the link. Yes! The wings are also 3D printed.

@@RCwithAdam1 thank you for the clarification! I also found the capability to autonomously fly, land, charge and take off extremely impressive! Wonder how far you could push that :D
Is this impressive? High school robot team built a solar charging hopping fixed wing drone like this back in ~2010, and were by no means the first, what's new here?
