As far as I knew, while flying an Hexa/Octo, the APM should be able to ensure the safety of the platform. However, last days, during one of my tests, I tried to fly (automatic) an hexa-rotor with one engine failure and the platform fell down (1000 feets) with any sign of APM response.\r\n\r\nThen, once I arrived to this point, the theory that I was using an hexacopter to ensure the safety due tu redundancy is not working anymore.\r\n\r\nThis is the main reason why I am writing this post. Which is the best way to ensure safety infront of an engine failure in flight? APM code is designed to confront this kind of situations?\r\n\r\nWhich is better:\r\n- Octocopter?\r\n- Coaxial copters (quad,hexa,octo)..."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/diydrones/ardupilot/issues/comments/135743250","html_url":"https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/issues/838#issuecomment-135743250","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/diydrones/ardupilot/issues/838","id":135743250,"user":{"login":"ricardocrl","id":14014574,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/14014574?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl","html_url":"https://github.com/ricardocrl","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ricardocrl/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-08-28T11:15:43Z","updated_at":"2015-08-28T11:15:43Z","body":"Hello everyone,\r\nI'm little familiar with the ardupilot and I am trying to understand its current status and future approach on this topic: redundancy in Hexa and Octa copters in case of motor failures.\r\n\r\nI'm working in an engineering company and we are happy to see this discussed and at least know that it is a question of time to see something implemented.\r\n\r\nMy question now is, what is the planned approach? Or no plans yet?\r\nMy understanding is about the ardupilot philosophy is to make everything as hardware-independent as possible (e.g. special ESC). Would this be possible?\r\n\r\nThank you "}}
