REDUCING FLIGHT TEST CYCLE TIME FROM WEEKS TO HOURS

Immediate data feedback allowed flight engineers to make critical adjustments shortly after each test, enabling multiple tests per day. Previous test programs required week-long delays between flights for data analysis.

LORD IMU Integration with Ardupilot

Drones already have their own internal IMU’s, but those IMU’s lack the accuracy needed for larger flight tasks. For shorter flights and recreational flying, the internal IMU is precise enough to keep the drone running as expected. As time goes on, small errors in the IMU readings add up and the total error may end up being very large by the end of a long flight. By using a high precision IMU, we can extend the flight time of the drone by increasing the accuracy of readings, thereby reducing the small errors.

Measuring Transmission Error – Case Study

Transmission Error, also called Torsional Vibration, is the study of the rotational speed of a rotating object. A shaft will not normally rotate in a smooth motion, but will actually accelerate and decelerate as it moves around its cycle. The study of this phenomena is Torsional Vibration.
