hovercraft

LAVE (Low-Altitude Vehicle Experiment) is an open-source research platform exploring human-scale hover in the sub-meter regime using distributed electric thrust, real-time stabilization, and fully transparent hardware and software systems. Built for reproducibility and experimentation rather than productization, it focuses on measuring the unstable transition between ground contact and sustained flight, with all telemetry, failures, and design iterations openly shared as part of the research process.
