I’m designing a drone that uses two contra rotating (rim driven but that’s probably irrelevant) fans in a single duct; with (current planned) 3 ‘flaps’, arranged 120° around the exit of the duct, that rotate into the duct, presenting the leading edge of a low reynolds, high lift airfoil profile into the lift stream to provide lateral control authority. Combinations of amounts of pairs of ‘flaps’ give 360° translation control; with the redirected airstream providing small translation authority at small openings and the resultant rotation around the CoG and or Col, causing the main lift stream to vector for larger, faster translations.
All of which is not for discussion here, but to ask if there is an experienced copter (preferably: coaxial) setter-upper and pilot, that would talk me through (or talk me out of) trying to use the four swashplate servo controls from a coaxial copter (plus speed control of two motors) to control two motors and three ‘flaps’.?
Am I completely off my trolley?
Cheers, Buk
