Quadrocopter Flies After Losing a Motor and Propeller

Why it's here
It is the standard citation in drone and eVTOL threads for the claim that multirotors can survive a failed rotor with the right control algorithm.
What it covers
ETH Zurich researchers demonstrate a quadrocopter that keeps flying stably after losing a motor and propeller entirely, with the algorithm running onboard while a pilot flies it.
