Recently, radio controlled (R/C) unmanned helicopters become to be used for operations such as air photographs, spreading chemicals and investigation into disaster area. R/C helicopter has better points than an actual one. First, the operation cost of the R/C helicopter is great lower than actual one. Second, they don't need large area for taking off and landing. However, operation involves danger. Because, the rotor blade is not covered, and it rotated at high speed. Recently, fatal accidents and bodily injury accidents by R/C helicopter are increased. The reason these accident happened is an inexperienced operator or radio wave interference or wind disturbance. In this study, we present the new flying object using the ducted fans. Rotor blades of the ducted fan are placed in the duct. So, the accident risks are decreased. The flying object we developed has 4 ducted fans. We call this Quad Ducted fan Helicopter(QDH). In this paper, we report the result of the nying object's experiments based on previous studies.
