I am building a one manned personal VTOL vehicle. It will only be for my own personal use, and have a 20 minute flight time. It will weigh approximately 300-350Lbs, with me in it. I was considering using 6-8 Turnigy 150cc, or 6-8 EP120900/120100 motors, with 30"-36" props, and then l came across these: https://neumotors.com/80xx-series-electric-motors/. I have seen this type of vehicle that l am building, all over YouTube, that actually do fly, and some of them use the Turnigy motors. On that note, would the Neu motors be a better option? As far as lipos, l can run any voltage from 48-96. I will figure out the ESC's, etc, after l get the motor options figured out. If the Nue motors will work for my application, what particular motor from the 80 series would be the best choice, and how many of them would it require? I would like to keep my propeller size to 30" (or less), and will calculate the optimal Kv, accordingly. I figure l would need at least 450-525Lbs of thrust at 75% throttle, to 600-700Lbs thrust at 100% throttle. Other than thinking that l am just nuts, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
