Yet the decision that quietly reshapes current, heat, wiring, ESC selection and serviceability is the pack voltage itself. A custom coaxial octarotor during indoor flight testing. This kind of non-standard, power-dense architecture makes battery voltage a system-level design decision. Source: Berra et al. (2024), […]
