Flying RoboSeed Nano Prototype
Role Monocopter UAVType of aircraft
National origin United States
Manufacturer RoboSeed
Designer Evan R. Ulrich

The RoboSeed Nano is the first monocopter UAV that has demonstrated controllable flight.

Development

The Nano was developed from research on flight characteristics of the Samara seed, coupled with modern small scale remote control electronics and research on controllability of monocopter vehicles. The aircraft is powered by a 2 cell 920mAh LiPoly Battery.
