"Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing."
Late last month drone company Matternet demoed a first, a precise and fully automated drone delivery (coffee!) to the roof of a Mercedes, capping a lengthy flight over the city of Zurich in Switzerland. Ardupilot is under the hood of the parachute…
"Just a quick guess here and could be wrong, but they are likely using their custom version of either Mission Planner, APM Planner 2 or QGroundControl, given they are running Arducopter. All support swarming and customization to various degrees,…"

Dodecas are not supported yet with Arducopter on mainstream release, but it is available on 3.6 dev (master)."

"All depends on the type of vehicle, if it's autonomous or not, and how you measure speed.
Model aircraft with jet turbine have been clocked at 400Mph+ for instance. In dynamic soaring with gliders, speeds above 500mph have been achieved.

"Great news, Jordi!
Rob, spot on with "DJI figured this out long ago". Out of curiosity I cracked open a Phantom 3 Pro a while back, the IMU is inside a fairly large plastic cubic plastic case, about 2” sides iirc. Inside is fully foamed, with at…"

"Jose: Cheers!
Credit of course goes to the 20+ strong core Ardupilot team and Arducopter lead developer Randy Mackay, the hundreds of beta testers (11 beta release candidates over a six month period) and the tens of thousands of professionals and…"

In case you missed it, some great news items in the last couple weeks, from the Ardupilot development powerhouse:- Release of Copter 3.5- The Solo lives onCopter 3.5 is a major release with an extensive list of new features and improvements,…
"Very impressive specs, great work! Flight controller/stack?
You do seem to have serious vibration though, that's got to be one difficult to deal with problem with hybrid."

"> Meanwhile, let's bring this thread back on topic. What do you think of the intrinsic performance of the Honeywell IMU vs our stuff?
Yes, a great topic, one that I am also particularly interested in too. With closed source companies it's always…"

"In general have to agree with Rob's comments. IMO It's not so much that glitches cannot happen with professional aerospace companies, we all know guaranteed 100.0% error free production cannot exist, see Boeing 787, NASA, etc ... But it's the…"
"Chris this is not a flight stack issue, it's a hardware issue regardless of what stack is supported. To my knowledge there's actually been two to date, the first having to do with the buzzer too close, reported here late last year. To my knowledge…"
"Kirill, answering Marc's question with another question is not an answer. Not sure why you bring up Mission Planner, QGroundControl is also open source and works with both Ardupilot and PX4, and runs not only on Windows, MacOS and Linux but also…"
"One good choice also, the Pixhawk 2.1"
"Awesome work! And great video, thanks for sharing!
Do you use Ardupilot or another flight stack? (Saw Mission planner running in the video). If so would be nice to acknowledge on your website :)"

"Do you mean PX4 based, proprietary, or from another open source base, proprietary extensions, or third party proprietary?
Even larger companies like Traxxas (Ardupilot FC) or Aminon (Cleanflight base) don't develop there own so guessing if you are…"
