Know that fixed wing landing and takeoff will be very much different from quad landing and takeoff.

Quad can switch to takeoff/landing stage straight,

while fixed wing needs multiple stages to take off/landing.

More information is available from Nixon’s documentations.

Next step:

  • Develop a simulator that gets the outputs from the path manager back to the mission planner. We need to check if that value is right using Python codes (to be discussed later)

  • We need to implement a function to communicate with TM.

  • We need some error checking mechanism - Obtain data from queue (AM) and pop it. Store it in a struct, and check if that value is right - If the desired speed or position do not match, flag this to the AM. (Should the data be checked periodically? Or just when AM asks about it?)

  • Implement current algorithm, assuming that the decoded data comes in a queue.
