What about an hexacopter with opposing rotors (Y configuration)?


Y6 is barely controllable if one of the rotor fails but still able to land without much hassle. Hexa in normal configuration handles motor failure better. If you want real redundancy go for X8 or normal octo - 16 rotor copters would be even better but these are pretty rare.


It provides some redundancy, but 8 motors is better in that area IMHO.
