So:Single rotor is quieter and I believe more energy efficient. I think the multi rotor set ups are faster, easier to control, and are liable to have a rotor strike in confined quarters.
that’s true although if you fibre optic the UGV to the FPV you’d allow the operator to stay out of danger?!For what it's worth, it my unsolicited (and uneducated) opinion, I found the UGV's contribution to the latest battlefields as... "meh." It would appear dominating the terrain element still requires something like an Abrams or Bradley, just like the old days. I'm not sure what the UGV mothership provides you that is otherwise not provided by an FPV with greater range.![]()
Scientific Question:
What are the pros and cons of multi-rotor and single-rotor designs?
I see all sorts of UAS for all sorts of endurance and payload categories and there doesn't seem to be a cutoff where one is preferable over the other. Big and small, these designs exist for all.
To simplify this, let's assume I need UAS for the following missions:
Every mission can have its own dedicated platform. What are my considerations for picking a single rotor or multi-rotor?
- Small radar, no platform speed requirements, long endurance.
- 1-2 ATGMs, no platform speed requirements, short endurance.
- 3-4 APKWS rockets, higher platform speed preferred, long endurance.
- 1-2 APKWS rockets, higher platform speed preferred, short endurance.
Its grand total of 4 rounds of 12guage , would have to be an extremely lucky shot on the pilot to do anything to helicopter

Unfortunately I don’t know if bays are big enough to hold BVRAAMS
The P32 has a length of 2.4 meters but im not sure how much space is left inside of the bay.

That bottom section is particularly interesting, would build up a lot of knowledge for a full fledged fighter if that’s the route the want to pursue.
This whole program will build up a lot of knowledge for larger aircraft eventually.
a joint GCC program would have the funds to develop a 6th gen program imo even if using many foreign components.

Absolutely gorgeous.EDGE Jeer UCAV which should only cost 499k per which is quite cheap. UAE armed forces should receive 100 of these.
