UniCopter ~ Dimension, Area & Drag
Some of the following is on the older smaller UniCopter and must be updated.
Axis System;
of Helicopter:
Body Axis System is used.
of Rotor:
The conventional one is the no-feathering-axis.
It will probably be preferable to use the Tip-Path-Plane axis /Hub axis for the UniCopter. This will mean that the axis of the helicopter and that of the rotors will only differ in the YZ plane.
of Blade:
