COMPUTER BASED AIRCRAFT STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WITH MANUAL USER NAVIGATION

COMPUTER BASED AIRCRAFT STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM WITH MANUAL USER NAVIGATION � Six-channel radio-controlled helicopters provide versatility and maneuverability compared to other aerial crafts; however, these RC crafts are very difficult to control especially for a beginner pilot � The control system to be constructed aims to provide ease of control to the pilot without removing any of the advanced features of the aircraft.

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION

PILOT JOYSTICK

RF TRANSCEIVER

RF TRANSCEIVER RF controller measured resistance

INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT Atomic 6 DOF IMU XBee Ready

ATOMIC 6 DOF IMU XBEE READY � Mounted on the helicopter to measure translational and rotational movement � Powered by a 3. 4 – 10 VDC Li-Po Cell � Has a triple axis accelerometer and 3 singleaxis gyroscope

XBEE TRANSCEIVER

XBEE TRANSCEIVER � XBEE is a wireless serial technology � A wireless communications standard, which has longer range than bluetooth but lower power consumption than Wi. Fi � One is mounted on the IMU to transmit flight data while the other one is included in the ground station to receive flight data
