A.T.O.M. Stands for Aerial Tilt Object Motion
This is a cool little project I have been working on that utilizes a gimble as a means for control.
The idea here is to make a drone style aircraft that will be able to maneuver through tight spaces with accuracy and stability. The ATOM will also be able to compact flat to be brought out to the field for AP missions.
Instead of using the typical 'flap' control surfaces of normal aircraft. The ATOM will use a counter rotating prop housed in a gimble system with gyros located on 2 axis.
Right now the project is in the prototype stages and includes a stand for the study of the craft.
Future versions will remove the stand creating a sphere object capable of 6 axis linear movements while in flight. Flying characteristics will be along the lines of a UFO and although it is housed as a sphere for the prototype this could be altered. There is potential for adapting to the toy industry for UFO toys and the like.
I have to say that I am pretty excited about this project and look forward to seeing the results.
I think that this could have the potential for making an impact on the way we look at controlled flight in the future
Also would like to thank Meta lab for the gimble design we used in this experiment.
