Recently, UROC engineers and operators took to the skies for a rigorous hover test of our prototype VTOL aircraft, Anaconda, at a local flight site. What made this test unique? The team purposely flew in extremely high winds to evaluate the aircraft’s performance and flight characteristics in challenging conditions.
This test is a crucial step toward UROC's broader goal of integrating open-
source hardware into an edge autonomy system for the Penguin B VTOL. Our aim is to enable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights over the Chesapeake Bay. As part of this testing, we’re also refining our open-source autopilot system, specifically designed to handle the unpredictable nature of high winds.
The results will play a significant role in optimizing the Anaconda’s flight capabilities, bringing us closer to safer, more reliable autonomous flights in diverse environments. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue pushing the boundaries of aerial technology!
