Abstract
- Helicopters are rotorcraft with horizontally rotating rotors that provide lift and thrust. The helicopter will take off and land vertically, hover, and fly forward, backward, and laterally as a result of this. These motions are created with the aid of a complex swash plate. This mechanical system has a lot of wear and tear, and the pumps are more expensive per unit. This needs to be replaced. Making a helicopter with the technical simplicity of a drone would be a fascinating way to reconcile the technically complex flying helicopter and the technological complex flying quad copter. This can be accomplished with just a programmed micro controller and no swash plate. This gives rise to the concept of a helicopter without a swash plate. By removing the complicated controls of a traditional helicopter swash plate or the dispersed propeller array of a quad rotor, this concept enables new inexpensive, durable, and light weight aircraft
