New York, April 16 (IANS)<\/strong> A Purdue University researcher has developed a patented design for drones that works in windy conditions, is more energy efficient and can handle a larger payload.<\/p>\n

“Our drone design was inspired by the wings and flight patterns of insects,” said Xiumin Diao, Assistant professor in Purdue’s School of Engineering Technology.<\/p>\n

“We created a drone design with automatic folding arms that can make in-flight adjustments.”
\nThe design provides drones with improved stability in windy conditions because the folding arms can move and change the centre of gravity of the device during flight.<\/p>\n

The design also makes drones more energy efficient because the movable-arm technology allows for the use of the full range of rotor thrust.<\/p>\n

“The drones on the market now have fixed arms and that greatly reduces their maximum payload capacity when the payload is offset their centre of gravity,” Diao said in a paper published in the ASME Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement and Control.<\/p>\n

The foldable arms can also help in search-and-rescue operations using drones because they can more effectively navigate the air conditions in ravaged areas and morph by moving the arms to go through narrow spaces, said researchers.<\/p>\n
