Abstract
According to one implementation, a rotorcraft includes rotors, a fuselage, at least three rods, at least one load sensor and a control device. The rotors obtain lift. The fuselage is coupled to the rotors. The at least three rods support the fuselage. The at least one load sensor detects loads applied on the at least three rods. The control device automatically controls the rotors so that measured values of the loads detected by the at least one load sensor are brought to targeted values of the loads.
