Lifting oversized industrial cargo using multiple synchronized quadcopters tethered to a single payload.
Lifting a 200 kg transformer using four 50 kg drones introduces complex pendular oscillations. AAVSwarm models the coupled multibody dynamics in real time, coordinating thrust vectors to maintain equal cable tension and suppress cargo swing.
If an individual drone suffers a rotor motor loss, high-speed pyro-cutters release that tether while remaining drones instantly adjust thrust envelopes to safely execute emergency touchdown.
