Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate a quadrotor drone with an improved thrust to weight ratio. The quadrotor drone includes an assembly of vertically oriented arms, i.e., the length and thickness of the arms extend along x and y axes forming faces along the arms generally in an x-y plane and generally facing a direction parallel to an axis of each of the motors, while the width extends along the z axis form forming faces along the arms generally in an x-z and y-z planes and generally facing directions orthogonal to an axis of each of the motors. The arms are preferably formed from a material comprising a continuous fiber from end to end such as, e.g., a carbon fiber material. The arms are mechanically inter-locked at the center of the arms with the longitudinal axes of the arms crossing one another.

Abstract: Implementations of the present application relate to a starting method and apparatus for a permanent magnet synchronous motor, a power system, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The method includes: obtaining a current motor rotational speed and motor position information of the permanent magnet synchronous motor; determining whether the current motor rotational speed is less than a preset minimum rotational speed, and if the current motor rotational speed is less than the preset minimum rotational speed, using the preset minimum rotational speed as a feedback rotational speed; otherwise, using the current motor rotational speed as a feedback rotational speed; and performing closed-loop control on the permanent magnet synchronous motor according to the feedback rotational speed and the motor position information. In this way, the starting method is simplified and simpler. Potential failure risks in various states in the prior art are avoided, thereby effectively improving reliability of a starting process.
