This paper is on newly designed rotor craft double tetrahedron Hexa-Rotorcraft (dot-HR). dot-HR is unique rotorcraft with 6 rotors on non-single plane configuration. dot-HR is able to fly without tilting its attitude. The design optimization with numerical calculation and flight experiments of prototype model will be shown.
