| Abstract | With the daily progress in technology, the requirement of new experimental products has arisen. The competitive world tries to fulfill human needs and wants with multifunctional substitutes which are replacing existing single use products. Hovercopter is a concept of new transportation which has the ability to travel both on air and water. This can be further developed to enable passengers to reach their desired destinations quickly and safely. This project include two convertible modes, quadcopter and hovercraft controlled using remote control signals. To improve stability of the flight, it includes PID controlled brushless DC motors which is controlled using arduino micro-controller. |
