Abstract:
To provide a multicopter that enables it to prevent generation of a vortex ring state of a rotor and control lift and thrust efficiently and elaborately. This is solved by a multicopter having a plurality of rotors installed radially to a frame, wherein at least one of the plurality of rotors is provided with a cylindrical duct surrounding and enclosing the rotor; and the duct is formed in a shape making an air flow from an air intake side to an air outlet side of the rotor imbalanced in a circumferential direction of the duct.
