“…As a result of the application of this model expressed that they get more flight time. China E. Lin et al [17], developed a hybrid vehicle model by installing four short-arm internal combustion engines and four long-arm dc motors. Longer flight times and greater load capacity are made to enable the goals of this study stated that they have achieved.…”

“…Longer flight times and greater load capacity are made to enable the goals of this study stated that they have achieved. Other type multi propeller model [17] J. Verbeke et al [1], said that we have conceived a novel compound multicopter configuration specifically for flight through narrow corridors, its design combines the contradictory requirements of limited width, high agility and long endurance while carrying a significant payload. In this study, two different types of dodecacopter models which are non-traditional structure were developed and simulated for the purpose of carrying loads.…”

Nowadays, the use of multi-propellers has been increased, because of some basic advantages such as vertical take-off and landing, simple mechanical structure. In addition, different usage fields such as carrying an object and making video records over the cities. This paper exposes design and control of two different multi propeller systems and both systems have 12 rotors to carry more load. In first, all motors are arranged at identical angles in the same plane. In the other, the motors are mounted in two groups, eight and four in two different planes, the lower and upper. Flight performances of these two different UAVs were compared under disturbing effect. It was observed that the flight performances were close in the simulation study. Although the average and maximum of the position errors for three axes in the first model was less than the other, for the same propeller dimensions, the first model must have larger dimensions than the other in the context of the smallest vehicle dimensions.

“…However, the outcome, performance and basic mission functions gained by active research have a limited effect by the short flight time of existing multicopters [5,6]. As shown above, research is also actively being carried out to improve the flying time which is pointed out as the biggest disadvantage of multicopter.…”

In this paper, We propose a hybrid multicopter that combines an gasoline propulsion system and an electric propulsion system to improve the endurance of the multicopter. The hybrid is equipped with a coaxial inverting thruster using a gasoline engine at the center and an electric propulsion system for attitude control at the side. The control system using a classical control algorithm based on the dynamic model. Finally, flight performance and high-endurance flight of the hybrid multicopter were verified.

“…However, such method could lead to extra weight or complication in the system which leads to less reliability in system performance [18]. The preliminary study shows that the gasoline engine could be stabilized under favorable condition for multirotor [19]. Therefore, the idea of creating dual power system but preserving the simplicity of multirotor aircraft is introduced in this paper.…”

Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft has good flight characteristics and system performance without runway. The multirotor system has been tried to expand into larger size for longer endurance or higher payload. But the motor power to endurance ratio has been limited. Due to the specific energy of gasoline being much higher than battery, introducing gasoline engine into multirotor system can be considered. This paper proposes a dual power multirotor system to combine a quadrotor using gasoline engines to provide major lift in shorter arm with another quadrotor using brushless DC motors to offer most controllable force with longer arm. System design, fabrication, and verification of the proposed dual power multirotor system development are presented. Preliminary flights have achieved 16 kg payload for long endurance flight. This is useful for various applications with advanced improvements.
