Thrust vectoring drone

First hover test of my new single ducted fan thrust vectoring drone running PX4

Nobody would ever suspect anything, they would just think somebody is vacuuming! Very Nice!

I think its quite impressive that technology and expertise has evolved so rapidly that we now have people flying homemade thrust vectoring drones in their backgardens.
It was not that long ago that the first commercial drone hit the open market.
Well played

Looks like A Probe Droid without the dangly bits . It's amazing to think the first ever drone idea was the Imperial Probe Droid looking around for rebels on the snowy covered "Hoth system " , in the Star Wars movies "Empire Strikes Back" way back in 44 years ago in 1980 .

VERY cool! - With no visible props, looks somewhat like the Imperial spy droids out of “Star Wars”! 😊

Woooow.
I am long enough around to know that building the Harrier VTOL Jet was an almost insurmountable engineering task back in the 60's - 70's.
These days you build thrust vectoring aircraft in your spare time with parts from the internet.
Amazing times! 😯😃👍

Amazing how far things have come. Watching the EKV videos from the 80s and 90s was mind blowing. This is just as interesting and can be done with retail products.

The UK MOD has one just like this, called T-Hawk (Tarantula Hawk) and it uses the same propulsion system, even looks the same but sounds like an air raid siren. Theirs moves by weighs on the side, they move to throw balance off and create drift or headings. Very cool to see on this small.

[TheMagneticDude]

The stability on that thing is really impressive!

This is exactly what that Jellyfish UAP going around the internet is !! Just a bigger one ! 😎😎

[sadface]

With no obvious moving parts, this looks very Sci-fi. Very cool!

[adayinthelife]

I think there are many applications for this geometry and enclosed prop. Very progressive idea!

[Ilamarea]

That is a perfect drone. Able to fly in any orientation, with a simple, single set of components!

[colinire]

That looks remarkably like the 'jelllyfish' UAP.

Good to see that captured alien technology has finally been put to good use.

[DaddyRobertson]

love this. over time, I think the focus will shift from design and fabrication to getting these as whisper quiet as mechanically possible. Great work!

[FOBob-srfd]

Looks like the so-called jellyfish UAP.

I like how she grabs it like a flying tumbler at the end. True princess moment.

[owtnabowt]

Holy crap...a flying jetboil....Good work fella👍

[TrueFaith]

I see the fishing line holding up the drone and the vacuum on the side; couldn't fool me 😎
