The Maiden Flight
This project aims to create a platform for testing programs built to enhance the autopilots decision making. To make this possible a payload bay was built into an existing airframe using additive manufacture. For the purpose of this particular project the Odroid on board will be used to pass waypoints or control decisions to the autopilot so a space-filling trajectory, determined via Genetic Programing, can be flown.
