Background
Features of this project-Takes off/lands like a helicopter, flies like an
airplane
-Controlled by software
-Feedback through software
-RC Perspective Change
EE/CS 481 Spring 2008
Founder’s Day, 2008 4University of Portland School of Engineering
Background
Design objectives-Physically demonstrate control responses
-Display telemetry sensor data on computer in meaningful way

MethodsHow we achieved our goals
-Much of the control/display processes are in software
--Easier to make changes without modifying the hardware
--Custom code and assistance from Eagle Tree Systems and Control Anything
-Hardware is off-the-shelf products--Easy to replace--System-wide compatibility

Methods
Independent design, implementation and testing of two components- Control system
- Telemetry system
Components each developed by two members

ConclusionsRC-VTOL
-Complex control processing
-Combines advantages of airplanes and helicopters
-Compensates for RC perspective change
Improvements -In-flight stabilization for better flight control
Future uses-Software package
--Modify for use with different airframes
