High-g quadrocopter training in the Flying Machine Arena at ETH Zurich

The video shows high-speed steady flight in confined spaces for tethered quadrocopters. Due to the centripetal force exerted by the tether, high-speed trajectories along circles at different orientations in space can be flown. Velocities exceeding 50 km/h and centripetal accelerations of more than 13 g are achieved in steady flight, within a sphere of radius 1.7 m.
