Tilty

Tilty

Synchronous Tiltrotor-Quadrotor

The objective of "Tilty" is to create a "perfectly" fully-actuated quadcopter - using 6 actuators to move the drone in its 6 degrees-of-freedom in space with no coupled motion. This means, unlike a normal quadcopter, this drone can move left and right without tilting - making flying a bit less nauseating for its occupants.
