Development of a single axis tilting quadcopter

This paper presents design, fabrication, and testing of a remotely piloted single axis tilting quadcopter. In the quadcopter, each motor can be tilted about a single axis. A single axis tilting quadcopter has eight degrees of freedom allowing for full 6-axis control. The principle benefit is horizontal movement of the quadcopter without the quadcopter needing to pitch or roll the body. The quadcopter is fabricated, and then tested.
