Why are we trying to supersize drones and not use helicopters?

You do have less unique moving parts. Just one per rotor, all the same.<p>I think that&#x27;s a big plus. No jesus bolt, no variable angles of attack, no gearbox. I also don&#x27;t know how well electronic motors scale, maybe a bit smaller is better?

1. Because drones are really cool.<p>2. Because throwing cpu power at them to solve the stabilization issue turns it from a mechanical project to an electronics project, which appeals to geeks everywhere who don&#x27;t have much of any fabrication experience.<p>3. Also, see #1 above :)
