Fixed-wing UAV research at UNR taking off

5/4/2016

It was about time - although it took a while to initiate fixed-wing UAV research in a new place.

Through four talented undergraduate students (Murillo B, Brandon T, Jason R, Matt B) and a pilot (Phillip T) a platform for fixed-wing related research was developed. The system is designed around the Skywalker X8 platform (2.1m wingspan) and integrates a Pixhawk autopilot with IMU/Baro/GPS/Airspeed sensing), a high-level Intel i5 Processor and camera systems to further enable autonomy research. 

This flight was not autonomous and the goal was to simply verify avionics, high level processing, telemetry and the overall vehicle behavior. But autonomy is on its way! Below some further photos and a video of this first short flight.

Research is an integral part of our life. If people did not do any research in the past, then we might not have been able to evolve. Sure, research is something that only the professionals can do, but believe me, you will have fun once you become a professional. Not everyone is fit to be a professional researcher, but who is to say that you are not? Try it, you might never know what you are missing out, trust me.
