FlyRider - Ride Your Drone

Test Flight Campaign

A manned drone has completely different safety requirements than a model aircraft. To ensure maximum safety, the possible flight movements of the FlyRider should be reduced to a necessary minimum. In addition, the maximum flight altitude should be limited to 2 meters above ground. The goal of the test flights is to sequentially implenet and verify the required flight control requirements.

Flight Control Requirements

Mimimal requirements:

- limiting the flight altitude to 2 meters above ground
- limited forward speed (limited pitch angle)
- speed backwards and sideways is limited to almost zero
- if there is no active signal from the pilot, the aircraft automatically 
  returns to a neutral flight attitude
- in the event of a loss of signal, the aircraft returns to a neutral flight attitude

Desired requirements:

- in the event of a loss of signal, the aircraft lands automatically
- a signal is triggered to the pilot in the event of critical battery capacity
- the pilot can initiate an automatic landing at any time

First results are hopefully comming soon ....
