The L.O.R.A.X. project aims to design a swarm of rotating cylindrical wing drones for efficient large‐area scanning, overcoming the limitations of conventional methods. Inspired by the X‐ZyLo toy, the project’s main objective is broken down into six distinct goals: proving the feasibility of the rotating pipe‐shaped wing design and its implementation in an autonomous drone; simulating the controllability of a single drone with a single actuator controlling thrust, stability and control; demonstrating its imaging capabilities; simulating swarming operations with 10 nodes for better mission performance; demonstrating the ability to be deployed from a mothership; and ensuring the design meets sustainability benchmarks
