A drone<\/a>, or quadcopter as it’s technically called, typically has four propellers to generate enough thrust to let it hover in the air. The propellers are arranged in such a way to counterbalance the weight of the drone itself.<\/p>\n

Researchers at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control at ETH Zurich<\/a> have created a new kind of flying machine<\/a> (technically, not a drone) that only needs one blade to fly.<\/p>\n

The flying machine is called the Monospinner<\/a> and is billed as the “simplest, controllable, flying machine in existence” since it lacks actuators and aerodynamic surfaces. It only has one moving part: the rotating propeller. Read more…<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
