hi guys i'm a newbie in amateur UAV universe and i'm working on a similar project so many thanks to Murat for bringing up this issue and to Matthew for pointing the insufficiency of GPS's..my plane is also jet powered and i want to fly it autonomously with APM..my friend suggested that i could use a second GPS or more to speed up the transfer speed..can i do that??

I was thinking the same thing. How the hell do you fly that fast without losing it or going out of range from your radio? Definitely awesome!

We have similar project with Turbine Jet with APM 2.5 any suggestions on configuration?

I heard a rumour from a man down the pub that gps modules have a software speed limit around 200kph.
This is to prevent ppl from using them for military purposes.
My source is working with a well funded balloon project so he knows some stuff. Having said that, his memory was hazy and full of beer.
We know our gps modules work over 200kph because ppl have recordings from them.
I am wondering if there is a limit somewhere and what it is.
They still have a way to go to beat the DS glider record at 717kph.

Now that would be a interesting autopilot trick.
Can you double you GPS update speed by using two and doing some trickery with their clock speeds?

Would be a nice FPV plane !!
at speeds like this gps update rates start becoming a real problem, but it would be insane nevertheless.
Needs an Ardupilot :)
