Multicopter: From Principles to Practice¶

This book serves as an introductory textbook on multicopter drones, as well as a hands-on guide covering both theoretical foundations and practical operations. It begins with an overview of fundamental concepts, flight principles, and historical development of multicopter systems. Subsequently, it provides detailed explanations of the system architecture and key components—including the airframe, propulsion system, communication system, and flight control system. Finally, it covers assembly and calibration, operation and maintenance, industry applications, and future development trends. Overall, this book successfully integrates theoretical instruction with practical experimentation, offering comprehensive and in-depth coverage while consistently emphasizing safe operation practices to cultivate readers’ safety awareness. To further aid learning, we have prepared a large collection of instructional and hands-on video tutorials.
