In BEAM robotics, a flier is an aero-robot that functions in an atmospheric environment. They possess a driven mode of locomotion through and/or supported by the atmosphere. Fliers include various designs, but usually lie within a device class that can be delineated as aircraft, which includes any vehicle designed to move through the air (aerodynes or aerostats). One idea for a solar powered blimp is to use the principle of the Solar balloon, and a standard photopopper circuit. ==Genera== * Helicopter : Powered rotor provides both lift and propulsion; Utilizes differential thrust to hop toward brighter areas (aka. "Hoppers") * Airplane : Aircraft that has a fixed wing and is powered by propellers or jets; Usually powered via non-solar power source (such as pneumatic or battery); Solar power for control. * Blimp : Aircraft that has neutrally-buoyant balloon for lift; Solar power for control and propulsion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flier (BEAM)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
