Abstract :
The paper describes a version of n-copter, the vehicle known as quadcopter. It is an aircraft, a kind of helicopter, with four rotors. Mechanical and electrical construction is described in details. The model is steering by radio waves. Three fuzzy logic controllers are used for rotors, each for one axis and main controller for whole system. Dynamical behavior in air is studying and shown in pictures. Time responses of control system are presented. The difficulties encountered in the construction of the device and possible modifications are discussed.
