Abstract

The compositions of multicopter systems are both simple yet complex. The compositions are thought to be simple because a multicopter system is generally composed of several well-modularized components such as the airframe, propulsion system, and command and control system.

Note: (a) Rigidity. Rigidity of material is a measure of the ability to overcome deformation when applied stress. It can be measured by Young’s modulus (Msi). (b) Strength. Strength of material is measured by the maximum nominal tensile stress before the sample is broken when applied tensile force. It can be measured by tensile strength (Ksi).

For a multicopter, the throttle control stick is to control the upward-and-downward movement, and the rudder control stick is to control the yaw movement, while the aileron stick is to control the roll movement, and the elevator stick is to control the pitch movement.
