Comment Comment by toss1 Excellent point about the moment arm and control issues! I'm definitely all about maximizing power-weight and strength-weight ratios...I am wondering about the ratios you are achieving, and about the issues of scale.Do things get better as you scale up? I notice you mentioning the state-of-the-art at 3-4 kW/kg, and you shooting for 12 kW/kg.This is even substantially better than small scal T-motor UAV motors at around 7w/g [1]. The chart shows them peaking at 3181W and weighing 453g.So, I'm wondering what scale factors may be working in your favor at your scale vs the single-digit kW scale.Also, any plans to scale slightly smaller (I'm involved in such a project)?[1] https://uav-en.tmotor.com/html/2021/Antigravity_0119/668.htm... parent toss1 5 years ago
