  • 0.1 History of Aviation Objective: Explore the theory of aviation and different types of planes. Gain a brief understanding of the history of aviation and the pioneers of the field. Learning: Aviation has a history of more than 2000+ years, and it goes like... References: All the resource materials specified in the task, no other resources used.

  • 2.2 Autonomous Flight Planning & Execution Objective: Learn about the Heads Up Display (HUD) available in the Mission Planner. Using the built-in Ardupilot simulator (SITL), plan and execute a fully autonomous flight mission in Mission Planner. Implement waypoints, return-to-home (RTH), and failsafe settings. Configure a geofence around UVCE and test a small autonomous mission. Learning: After opening the Mission Planner software, go to the second tab i.e., plan (flight planner) and on the right hand side set the home coordinates, since in this task we want a geofence around the college, we set the coordinates of the college i.e, 12.97530740069745, 77.5866144525168 The built-in simulator in Mission Planner, also known as SITL (Software In The Loop), allows one to simulate a drone running in ArduPilot firmware directly on the person's computer. It mimics real-world flight behavior, enabling user to test missions, tune parameters, and practice flying without needing physical hardware. For setting up a simulation , go to the simulation tab and then click on the multi-rotor, download the stable file and connect the mavlink.

  • 1.1 Intro To Aerodynamics & Aircraft Structure Objective: Study Bernoulli’s Principle, Newton’s Third Law in aviation, and aerodynamic forces. Understand lift, drag, thrust, weight, and stability. Learn about primary and secondary control surfaces. Learning: Difference between UAV & UAS:UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) refers to the flying object alone, like the drone. UAS refer (Unmanned Aerial System) refers to the complete aerial system i.e., it includes the drone, payload, control system etc.
