1. LOVEFifty winged tricopter is to immortalize the 50 people who were killed by a terrorist attack on Al-Noor Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand during the Friday prayer a week before this publication. The tragedy however has been successfully managed to promote love and peace.
On March 15, 2019 an armed terrorist has shot the people who were praying their weekly Friday prayer at Al-Noor Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand. The attack has killed 50 people. However, the tragedy was successfully managed with a global collective effort which has resulted in the promotion of love and peace instead of hate and vengeance as planned by the terrorists. LOVEFifty is to immortalize the sacrificing of those 50 people. It is a conceptual design of heart-icon wing inverted Y-fuselage tricopter.
2. The bottom surface of LOVEFifty's wing is colored with "heart" dark blood-red.
To further enhance the heart icon, the bottom surface of the wing and the fuselages which are below the wing are colored with the "heart color", which is dark blood-red. The top surface of the wing however is covered with solar cells and hence is in "solar-cell" blue. These solar cells are to power LOVEFifty's on-board payloads.
LOVEFifty is inverted Y-fuselage tricopter. It has 3 fuselages fused at a point to produce a "Y" structure with the single fuselage toward the rear. The fuselages are to house the engines installed horizontally or tangential to the plane of the ducted fans. Inverted Y-fuselage however is only suitable for low velocity aircrafts, such as LOVEFifty.

The 3 ducted fans provide both lift and thrust to LOVEFifty. They are powered by 4 electric engines. Each of the twin front ducted fans are powered by an engine. Their propellers are counter-rotating, meaning each fan rotates its propellers in the opposite direction of each other for torque cancellation. The single rear ducted fan which has smaller diameter than that of the twin front ones, have contra-rotating 2 sets of propellers, also for torque cancellation. Each propeller set is powered by an engine, meaning this rear fan is powered by 2 engines. All the engines are computer-synchronize resulting in an optimum net flight behavior.
All the 3 engines are connected to each other by shafts, to enable power distribution and sharing in case any one of the engines fails, meaning all the 3 ducted fans will continue rotating their propellers (with lower RPM) although one engine fails. This is the most significant safety feature of LOVEFifty.

LOVEFifty can be flown piloted or unmanned. For piloted long endurance flight, its cabin only accommodates a single pilot seat to ensure maximum comfort to the pilot. For piloted short period flight, its cabin can accommodate a side-by-side seat for a passenger besides a pilot. When in the autonomous mode, the cabin houses a primary payload consisting of high power and high resolution video cameras and environmental and atmospheric probes and sensors. Secondary payloads can be carried inside the cones of the 3 fuselages.

Muslims believe that those 50 people killed by the terrorists were so much loved by God because they were shot at when they perform their Friday prayer, while the mosque and Friday are the holiest place and day respectively. This is why this heart-icon inverted Y-fuselage tricopter concept is called, LOVEFifty.
