The H502E, also marketed as the "H502E X4 DESIRE CAM" is a smaller version of the H501S quadcopter. Uses brushed motors, has 12 minutes' flight time, 7.4V (2S) 610 mAh Li-Po battery, GPS Positioning, altitude hold, 720P High Definition Camera and return to home. Includes the standard TX H907A remote, extra props, USB charger and a tiny screwdriver.
A quadcopter, also called quadrocopter, or quadrotor [1] is a type of helicopter or multicopter that has four rotors. [ 2 ] Although quadrotor helicopters and convertiplanes have long been flown experimentally, the configuration remained a curiosity until the arrival of the modern unmanned aerial vehicle or drone.
DJI Mavic Air in the air. The Mavic Air was announced in January 2018 as a more portable development of the DJI Mavic. [1] [2] Like the Mavic, the Mavic Air is a foldable quadcopter, though the arms and propellers fold to be flush with the side of the drone as opposed to the Mavic's over/under configuration. [1]
The drone also features a Wi-Fi module, a GPS-enabled position holding, return-to-home capability, a Naza-M flight control system, and self-tightening propellers. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] The drone connects to iOS or Android devices via an app, allowing the operator to control the camera and view flight data.

An advantage of quad rotors on small aircraft such as drones is the opportunity for mechanical simplicity. A quadcopter using electric motors and fixed-pitch rotors has only four moving parts. Pitch, yaw and roll can be controlled by changing the relative lift of different rotor pairs without changing total lift. [32] The two families of ...
A 6-bladed Hamilton Standard 568F propeller on an ATR 72 short-haul airliner. Lowry [27] quotes a propeller efficiency of about 73.5% at cruise for a Cessna 172.This is derived from his "Bootstrap approach" for analyzing the performance of light general aviation aircraft using fixed pitch or constant speed propellers.
A Soviet Ka-32 helicopter with coaxial contra-rotating rotors, in 1989. Contra-rotating, also referred to as coaxial contra-rotating, is a technique whereby parts of a mechanism rotate in opposite directions about a common axis, usually to minimise the effect of torque.
