The MB-X (STX-1) helicopter.
I proposed, designed and built (and piloted) this helicopter for a former company that I no longer work for. At the company we named it the STX-1, but to me the name of this helicopter was and always will be the MB-X: The 10th and the most awesome helicopter I've built to date. I was the pilot of this beauty too (and the only guy at work who was qualified to actually fly it), so it was really awesome to get research money to build this baby and to fly it.
The MB-X started life as a large RC helicopter kit, a 700 class helicopter to which I performed a lot modifications to make it a lot more capable. I opted to use a quad-blade rotorhead and a quad tail, a proved design from my previous helicopter builds. In the electronics department it is equipped with a Dual Core Intel CPU connected to an internal LAN setup with WiFi to remote pilot the helicopter. It also has a sensor suite included, from GPS to a camera. The system also sports a 900mhz downlink and an autopilot that could be used for long flights. It was built with enough processing power to accommodate a variety of AI programming languages.
Will miss you MB-X, farewell.
