Altough a large heavy lift MR is still far out of my budget, I can't help planning it. One thing that struck me about octos like the S1000 is that despite large span the propeller size is limited (the S1000 max prop size is 15", just like the smaller hex S800). A coaxial configuration like the Cyclone X8 allows larger space between motors, which means space for larger props. The drawback is that the lower props have to work in turbulent air lowering their efficiency.
A compromise would be an eight-armed octo with four of the arms mounted higher than the others (like two quads on top och each other with one rotated 45 degrees). This would allow for large props just like a coaxial, but the lower props would only partially operate in turbulent air.
Have anyone tried this?
