Description

Two rotors provide thrust and allow users to safely control the device’s dynamic response. Interchangeable propellers, user-adjustable thrust vectors, and the ability to lock axes individually mean the Aero 2 is capable of abstracting a variety of aerospace systems, such as half-quadrotor, 1-DOF VTOL, and 2-DOF helicopter.

The compact base includes a built-in amplifier with an integrated current sensor, a built-in data acquisition device, and an interchangeable QFLEX 2 interface panel offering connectivity options for a wide range of devices including PCs, embedded computers, and microcontrollers. Four high-resolution optical encoders, plus one Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), can be used to measure and control attitude in both pitch and yaw axes. Slip ring wiring allows for unlimited, continuous, 360° yaw rotation.
