Autopilot GPS and IMU

Posted by Zeeshan Haider on August 23, 2011 at 11:28pm

 

Hi Guys,

 

 i am working to develop my own autopilot system for my RC aircraft. i have read many project reports about designing UAV autopilot systems and after searching about that all, i got some question which are listed below...

 

  1. In many auto pilot systems, i saw IMU with GPS as apart of autopilot system. my question is that, why we use IMU with GPS. i think GPS is enough for UAV autopilot system. Please breifly explain role of IMU and GPS in autopilot systems.
  2. Autopilot only control rudder servo or also other control surfaces like ailerons, flaps etc? please explain?
