B Strapped to a quadcopter in zero gravity

AI Thread Summary
In a zero-gravity environment, a quadcopter could theoretically be flown by a pilot strapped to it, relying on inertial forces and visual cues for navigation. The thrust vector of the quadcopter would always be normal to the propeller plane, allowing for control through yaw, throttle, pitch, and roll. However, without thrust, the quadcopter would simply float, making stability a significant challenge. Adjustable pitch propellers and potentially rewritten control software would be necessary to manage flight dynamics effectively. Overall, flying a quadcopter in such conditions could be feasible but would differ greatly from traditional flight in gravity.

I was wondering... imagine a large enclosed space sealed off in intergalactic space, filled with air at normal sea level pressure. I was further wondering with regard to a quadcopter's symmetrical x and y-axis and the fact of the thrust vector always being normal to the plane of the props, that a person was securely strapped to this quadcopter and that it had a decent thrust to weight and was controlled by the pilot with a normal gimbal controller, with yaw and throttle and pitch and roll.

I was pondering that without any thrust it would just float around otherwise the person strapped to the body of the aircraft at the centre of gravity would feel the inertial force of acceleration and so would that pilot be able to fly around accurately merely by relying on the inertial forces they were feeling, assuming there were also plenty of visual cues in the 3 dimensional space in a gravity free zone.

Will your quadcopter have adjustable pitch propellers? If so, over what range of adjustment angle? Why do I ask this? :wink:
 
I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to fly in such a situation. The control would be very different from flying in gravity though, and the software controlling it would probably need to be rewritten.
 
It would all be very unstable and the rotors would need to be reversible or the pilot would need a 4pi range for the gimbal mount.
Could it possibly be more stable than a vectored jet pack?

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
