The quadrotor is starting to be considered a serious candidate for small and precise VTOL UAV missions. However, one important drawback is the insufficient payload capability. The current paper proposes the star-shaped octorotor as a solution. Its dynamic model is derived and a control mechanism for stabilization and trajectory tracking is designed and tested using numerical simulations. The approach proves to be feasible. Thus, the base for creating an autonomous octorotor UAV is established.
