Meeting Scope

  • Track state of new Cornflakes airframe post previous flight test

  • Identify deliverables and owners for each subteam for flight test this weekend

  • Look into long-term flight test planning (general flow of what we would like to ideally test)

Other Concerns

  • Battery returns and new battery purchases in time?

  • Will competition frame be ready for testing on April 8th?

  • Procuring new VTX infrastructure

  • Cutoff for when we can’t run competition frame at competition

Flight Test Outlook

Date

Note

April 2nd

  • Continuation of March 18th flight test:

    • Fixed Wing Validation

    • Continue rest of the tests

    • Houston:

      • Get Houston ready

      • VTX with 5.8 GHz

      • Houston will carry second battery

      • FPV Validation with VTX

  • “RTL” - set to QRTL (Return in Quad Mode only)

    • We tested this on Houston and it worked last flight test

  • “CS1” Data collection

    • How much energy required to land/take-off, fly a certain distance, etc.

    • Get a much better idea on aircraft characterization as a whole

  • auto-land precision

    • How close to target can Ardupilot land given the waypoint, whether CV will be required

  • fixed wing flight battery drain

    • Estimating based on the health of the current battery to extrapolate to new/healthier batteries

  • guided flight modes

  • video link

    • Want VTX to be ready for flight, to be used for BVLOS flight - test for unstable voltage, etc.

April 8th

“CS2”

  • Icarus Frame first flight

April 16th

Hold for: Icarus CS2

April 22nd

Continue tasks from CS2

April 29th

1 week before comp - full systems check
