Hector Garcia de Marina commented on Hector Garcia de Marina's blog post Pilot a "supra" rotorcraft
"@Thanks Pablo!

@Rob Indeed there are many physical limitations. For example, how much horizontal acceleration we can have for compensating wind or tension from the rope without compromising the lift.
So far, in our setup, we do not consider the…"

Time ago I posted some videos about my work for rotorcraft swarm but they were just some simulations in X-Plane... until last week! We took four rotorcraft and interfaced them as a single vehicle with a gamepad. Although this is just a first…

August is not a very busy month and allows one to have some spare time. I decided to create a video showing the status of Paparazzi for some formation flight capabilities. Just in case somebody is interested and wants to stop by, part of this work…

Hector Garcia de Marina commented on Ewoud Smeur's blog post Cyclone Hybrid Vehicle (Tailsitter)
"Hi Bart,
The attitude of the tailsitter Wingtra is controlled by a "geometric controller" http://www.springer.com/fr/book/9780387221953 . No idea whether they are still employing the same algorithm after the paper that Ewoud cited. This controller…"

"Hi guys,
those vanes are nothing special. They are just for measuring the angles of attack and sideslip.
You can find more information about the sensor itself here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lUWVR_lFvQ"

The Cyfoam is a hybrid vehicle developed at ENAC Drone Lab. The aircraft is a foamy, with a 3D printed fuselage, version of the composite-made Cyclone, i.e., before risking the expensive one, we committed the first flights with this foamy…

Hector Garcia de Marina commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Analyzing Parrot's latest financial report
"Mmm I am a bit confused.
So, this +31% more on sales is not only about Consumer drones? (so far their most profitable segment according to Parrot).
Indeed, they say that the margins went lower. No idea whether these new margins make the product…"

"I do not think they are doing worse in Consumer's drones:

Consumer drones: Consumer drones generated 45.0 million euros of revenues (53% of Group revenues / 83% of Drone revenues). A pricing policy aligned with the competitive environment has…"

"Hi Marc,
thanks!
It is totally possible to set different bearings/distances and we have already tested it too (always following a closed orbit such as circular paths). In this video the rendezvous was for "aesthetic" purposes :P.
