Train on the flight simulator!
Each card of Orange introduces a new flight simulator challenge.
Robotic programming
Introduce lift, thrust, drag and weight as students learn to navigate the flight simulator. Explain battery safety precautions with electrochemistry. Discuss open source software development while exploring the flight configurator. Build on students’ electronics knowledge to understand antenna safety procedures. Hone communication skills and outside-the-box thinking in End Design Project presentations.
Ethical Operation
Drones and the Future
Set up a tech lab for students where they can train on the flight simulator and configure their drones. The flight simulator software is compatible with Mac or PC desktops or laptops or Android tablets with micro USB adaptors. INAV runs on any device with a Chrome browser. One device per student is recommended. Make sure both FPV Freerider and INAV have been installed on each computer.
Keep props off when building or configuring inside.
Safety goggles should be worn any time students connect the battery to the drone. Note: be sure the antenna is connected before plugging in the battery to avoid damaging the drone’s VTX.
Supervise battery charging and establish LiPo safety protocols with your students.
Keep batteries stored in LiPo-safe bags when charging or not being used by

This is the first time the LiPo’s come out of the safe-storage bag, so take some time to review proper handling procedures for LiPo batteries. As students reach Orange Card 2, they’ll need to connect the battery to the drone for the first time. During configuration, the batteries can stay near the safe storage voltage, since the power draw from the PCB and connected components is minimal. Help students monitor their battery voltage in INAV as they work. When batteries fall below 10.6V (3.6V per cell), charge them back up to just above the safe storage voltage of 11.4V (3.8V per
This report is prepared to assist the aircraft solutions (AS), a well-known company for equipment and component fabrication in Southern California, in identifying the most important security vulnerabilities. This report also discusses possible threats, the likelihood of the threats occurring
At 4:38pm Flash Airlines flight 604 was cleared to taxi to runway 22R for departure. It was an evening flight and the weather was perfect. Visibility was excellent and everything indicated it was going to be another routine flight. However, on January 3rd, 2004 it was anything but routine.
One of the most deadly plane crashes was when two planes ran into each other on the ground, killing 583 people. One of the deadliest plane crashes in the air was Trans World Airlines (TWA) flight 800. In the report they say that mechanical failure is at fault. Other people say that it was a missile strike at fault. The mystery behind the crash of TWA flight 800 can be summed up in two groups, missile hit or mechanical failure.
How will students flow through the activities? Test the connection to the FPV goggles and talk through the frequency band considerations for a VTX system inside for P1, then head out to the flight field to start flying FPV in P2, C1 and the DP. When the batteries are done, come back inside for flight simulator practice in C2. If your batteries gave out before everyone had a chance to make it through all the flight activities, head out for a second, or third, day.
In 2015 alone there was over 428,000 Children in foster care on any given day and 670,000 children were in the system that year. In the book Flight by Sherman Alexie, the protagonist, Zits, is a troubled young half Indian half Irish boy growing up in the Seattle foster care system. He is in the system because his mom died when he was 6 and his father left before his birth. Love is basic human need because without it happiness isn’t obtainable. This is shown in the book with the recurring ideas that everyone needs someone that a family to feel safe with and love, everyone needs a parent figure or role model to show them what is right and wrong, and lastly everyone needs someone to love and support them in their times of need.
Last Friday (21st of August) for Newtown’s science week the science faculty hosted a paper aeroplane competition. Year groups 7-12 attended, there was many attendees who brought lots to compete with especially due to wide variety of the unique hand crafted planes. The event had been promoted for the previous two weeks. The event was to be held during lunch time. The end bell signalled for lunch (so around 1:13) and people (who were interested in watch or participating) gathered around the quadrangle awaiting to see the event. Throughout the event everyone whether they were apart of the contest or on the side lines cheering on their mates had a ball, it was a great time. The competition was fun through out there was two competitions hosted the
My topic focused on drone racing and how proponents of the idea t are developing ways to legitimize it as a sport. E-sporting is a mulit-billion dollar market that generates a chunk of their revenue from advertising and sponsorships. Even by streaming video game competitions on the platform Twitch has the e-sporting market garner the big bucks. Although proponents want drone racing to move to a televised event, there is still a lot of technology that could help make it a popular sport. If video game competitions could stream their events, so could drone racing. With the HD cameras, the events could be streamed live to a viewer, who could switch between what drones they are seeing. And with the new virtual reality headset, the Oculus Rift, viewers
I have been involved with aviation my entire life. Surprisingly enough, it all began with paper airplanes. As a young child I spent many of my days folding a variety of different paper airplane designs, exploring how each different fold would change the way it flew. As a result, this piqued my interest to explore the fundamentals of aviation. I could spend hours reading about aircraft design and learning about the history of flight. A few years later, at the age of nine, I saved up for my first radio controlled airplane. This was my introductory to radio controlled flight and taught me countless valuable life lessons. After several years of flying model airplanes, I decided to build my first racing drone. It was equipped with a first person view (FPV) video system. This allowed me to fly it from the drone's perspective, providing a bird's eye view of the landscape below. FPV gave me an entire new sense of freedom. With the headset on, I was no longer bound to the earth, but brought the ability to soar like an eagle. It's been almost two years since I first flew a
Because the 3DR Solo will not carry a pilot or passengers, the proposed operations can be achieved using the safety features of the Iris+ and the fad that the missions are pre-programmed and monitored in real-time with a specific flight management software, Johnston Photography proposes that operators of the 3DR Solo should not be required to hold a commercial or private pilot certification. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved by having an operator with many years of remote control aircraft experience, over 40 hours of flight time with the 3DR Solo has completed the 3DR manufacturers training videos on assembly, maintenance, pre-flight, flight and landing
When it comes to drones, no two flights are the same. From variable wind speeds and air density to propeller count and battery output, each time you head out to the flight field, get ready to experience a new snowflake. Depending on the type of flying you’re planning on doing and the type of speeds you’re looking to achieve, there needs to be some consideration into the gear your drone will be running. A racing drone needs different props than a videography drone. Heavy drones need more thrust to get up and stay off the ground, while other, lighter designs require less, which means some variation in the LiPo used. Drones meant for surveying need to be efficient at low speeds, optimizing their amount of time spent airborne. For racing drones, overall efficiency at
What I want to be when I grow up is an aerospace engineer. The reason for me wanting to be an aerospace engineer is that I have a lot of interest in astronomy. In this paper I will tell you many things like what Aerospace engineers do, what you need to do to become an Aerospace engineer, colleges nearby that work with aerospace engineering, what the median pay is, and what the work schedule may look like
Most of the Aviation schools have developed a structured curriculum, which is used to demonstrate various airplane systems which include a complete set of working flight instructions to enhance learning opportunities. They use multimedia services and the Internet to gain more information on the new developments in the field. A proven training system ensures that students are fully trained before they are given certificates to practice flight as a career or for recreational purposes. (Flight Training, 2004)
Have you built a model airplane? I built a model airplane with my Grandpa. "I let it dry," Owen exclaimed. "And kept building model airplanes." Owen exclaimed And win we finished "then we built the set up. Then win we finished the setup nese goold together, "Owen exclaimed "Now it is don,"Owen exclaimed My Grandma was clapping and cheering then I had a snack and then it was the end of my
As people grow up, they need to pick what they want to do for a living. Out of all the careers in the world, being an aerospace engineer would be the coolist. If anyone really enjoyed making paper airplanes as a kid, this is the job for them. It’s not all fun and games; aerospace engineers create models, test performance, and work on the quality of their designs.
The first disadvantage is time-consuming. Falcon 9 experiences major temperature changes during its flights, and intense pressures and vibrations from the winds in the atmosphere. These all produce wear-and-tear on the vehicle's hardware — meaning the rocket might need repairs and updates before it can launch again. Refurbishing a rocket engine is often expensive. And if those repairs take too long, SpaceX can’t launch its vehicles as frequently.
