The overall layout design of multi-rotor vehicles has great influence on flight performance. Traditional multi-rotor vehicles are usually not capable of high-speed flight and long endurance. This study discusses compound multi-rotor vehicle configurations and analyze the influence of the overall layout of multi-rotors on flight performance by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO).
