APM high speed >=1mach ?

hey friends ,, 

it is simple question ! What is the maximum speed that can be handled by APM 2.5 (arduplane) ?

do i need to add ArduIMU v3 to get more speed (G-force)? 

before i get started, plz feel free and comment ,, any discussion will be helpful :-)

  • Around 500 m/s, I think. Hope this helps! W2C

  • I think you should use some different hardware for this project.  I doubt the APM would be a good choice for something moving that fast.

    can i use arduino due + arduimu v3 => APM 3 (32bit) . to make it enough to respond quickly ?

    im trying to build faster APM Drone , with booster jet motors ... for speed mission (waypoint) in huge area 

  • that cool ,, so its about 1 mach ,, does that mean it shoulds work with stabilisation/autopilot mode (waypoint mission) ? 

    does the arduplane 2.x firmware/software support  this kind of speed ?

  • In theory that would be the maximum that GPS would support which is 515m/s but the devs would know better then I.
