作为未来概念的一部分，我们一直在寻找新的或尚未广泛传播的运动和驱动概念。借助 SmartInversion，我们的开发人员成功地创造了一个超轻的飞行器，它可以通过自身折叠来运动。这种无休止的、动作节奏的脉动和折叠运动被称为翻转，并成为这个模型名称的由来。
该飞行器的形状是由 Paul Schatz 从可翻转立方体推导出来的。他把一个立方体切割成三部分：角上的两个星形体和中间的一条立方体带。立方体带是一个六节环，从两个角体分开，可以连续翻转，从而呈现不同的形状。
飞行立方体带由六个充满氦气的相同棱形体组成。每个棱形体由六根碳纤维杆组成，这些碳纤维杆构成外膜的夹紧框架。总共 2130 升氦为飞行器提供了必要的浮力，该物体仅重 2334 克。由机载单元协调的三个伺服电机充当驱动器。根据不同的相位，两个电机向前运行，而第三个电机沿着相反的方向滑行。
The intelligent combination of extremely lightweight construction, electric drives and control and regulation technology makes continuous inversion in the air possible. During the flight, software continuously collects data such as battery charge or power consumption and checks it in real time. For us as a company, the principle of continuous diagnostics is also a guarantee of process reliability in automation technology.
With the cube, Schatz discovered that the theory of transmission that had previously been based on rotation (rotational movement) and translation (linear movement) could be extended with one element: inversion. Paul Schatz’s ideas are already being used in industry – for example, in internal mixers or for aerating and circulating stagnant water.
