Regarding quadcopters, this video by "Verity Studio" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h1Kh152ygU claims that they have developed a technology to enable drones to continue to fly a little, and then land safely, with just three motors and the fourth disabled.
But to the best of my knowledge this hasn't been implemented anywhere, and today's drones simply fall out of the sky if one motor fails or its propellers are destroyed.
Anyone know why that is? Is the video simply fake? (Comments on the video are disabled, which is not a good sign...)
Even if the video is fake, this seems like an important area of research for drone safety; what's the state of the art?
