• Spin up to takeoff speed (Reduce current spikes/easier on ESC & motors)

• Automated, but can be pilot overridden

• Transition to hover at set height (3-5m) if no pilot input

• If comms loss during takeoff transition to hover in place and if timeout passes transition to landing?

• Uneven takeoff surface

The Plan:

• Add a single First use Passby control to “spin up” motors to 20% throttle before takeoff, this reduces current spikes and increases motor longevity.

• Next, add a takeoff state to path manager that calls the LandingTakeoffManager to figure out Path/speed targets

  • Either use waypoints or passby to set the throttle and move the drone.

Path Manager Component:

Call the LandingTakeoffManager to calculate the velocity at the current height. Feed that data into the waypoint manager

Landing Takeoff Manager:

Calculate Ideally calculate ascent speed using Gaussian Profile:
