About Me:

Personal interests mainly encompass UAVs of airplanes. Seldom do I come to find 'copters of any type wonderful {Strictly AirPlanes}.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Airplanes are my aircraft.

Lately, this project of implementing solar cells into a homemade 4.68 meter glider platform has been neglected, though have considered to complete it to one's needs.If someone is interested in purchasing this aircraft fully finished, it will combine…

"Andreas, may I ask what the hold up is with DroneCell code debugging? I'm willing to get onboard if you have any recent updates on the improving code, for APM2.0 especially.
Thanks_"

"I will be updating experiment 1 in several weeks. Basically, two adjacently spaced smaller static carbon fiber rings will repel a larger dia carbon fiber ring using surface flush Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets of ultra-small size. This will simulate…"

I came across a thread which reminded me of regenerative braking. Not sure how much this relates with UAVs, but it's a fair topic to review.In my mind, mechanically storing momentive energy when braking is practically most efficient as…

"As for me, right now, I am working on a circuit to allow for different modes of direct control over the GSM/GPRS cellular network. Currently, I still advocate the uploading of new waypoints and directional constraints to the aircraft and'll probably…"

"Okay, well then I'm right on track. As for programming, I would love to learn the process. For now, great going on the code, Andreas! Seems there are many people backing this up; this is an exceptional idea for long range UAVs and honestly believe…"

"One intention is to simulate the current binary setup that Xbee or the 3DRobotics radios utilize in telemetry feedback for the Mission Planner. Honestly, I don't see how Xbee or 3dr wireless data couldn't be routed over a data server on DroneCell;…"

"I will be receiving a DroneCell within 48 hours. Then intend on participating in APM 2.0 testing. Also, I am not so much aware of the proposed Dynamic DNS architecture. Is this software or hardware that has yet to be developed. More so, is this…"

"Welcome to the lab! 
Expecting APM 2.0 & DroneCell within two weeks. A multi-channel analogous tone decoder/transceiver system for airborne cellular applications is in the works.
The Vegas Buzzard, a.k.a: 'Vegatross', will operate at roughly 28…"

"Laminar flow is theoretically possible, however in real world dynamics laminar flow is impossible even with the most efficient airfoil with lowest Reynolds Number, and smoothest wing skin. Move anything through the air, even a perfectly flat,…"

"Since I'm busy tonight, I'll explain the basic concept behind what I am preparing to develop/invent.
Considering an aircraft's wetted area, or exposed surfaces, friction is apportioned as skin friction or parasitic drag, in general. This occurs due…"

"My apologies. Allow me to reiterate. I am fairly exposed among the field of aerodynamics. The purpose of my posting here is to test a concept with others and gain a wider scope of people's thoughts. Yes, you are correct that secrets prove little…"
