Abstract :
A multifan hovering mechanism is investigated as a vehicle for field work in a mountainous region. This paper presents the control characteristics of the hovering mechanism, including the effects of level and sloping ground. A stable controller is derived and experimental results are presented using a scale model. Work is being continued to improve the hovering characteristics.
