About Me:

I'm an aerospace engineering student living in Los Angeles, CA. I LIVE to make things move and move things through space. To explore is to breathe!


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I got into UAVs during Summer 2015 - writing my own Arduino autopilot without any knowledge of ArduPilot. I also built the UAV for this autopilot from scratch and learned a lot. I hope to continue on to create extremely efficient and interested UAV projects in the future! UAVs will pave the path for the reexpansion of human exploration

Jonny Hyman commented on PX4's blog post PX4 VTOL Update
"Fantastic!

I'm developing a (gigantic) flying wing VTOL where all 4 of the motors rotate to forward during transition. This is like a mix of the tilt rotor and quad plane design.Just a quick question: the Pixhawk / APM does not support this…"

Jonny Hyman replied to Geo's discussion autonomous flight from 100,000ft
"Fun idea!

My first recommendation is to research a bit on what others have done. David Windestal (formerly Flite Test) flew an FPV glider to 100,000 ft and there are some interesting insights you can gain from that. LINK, and DETAILED ARTICLE
