  1. Features: • Auto level or turning flight • GPS-guided navigation capability • Real-time wireless video • Real-time telemetry transmission • Telemetry storage • In-flight configuration • Low power and weight • Battery management • Electric or Nitro propulsion compatible • Sensor add-on packages • Multi-platform compatibility Andrew Headings • Summary: • The goal was to build an inexpensive control system to autonomously control a variety of airborne platforms • Uses: • Land surveying • Military reconnaissance • Aerial photography • Search & rescue • Crime scene assessment • Hobbyists Jonathan Digby Troy Klopfenstein Results: On ground tests were successful. GPS waypoint navigation tests worked on the ground. Wireless communication worked for distances less than 300ft. All systems communicated correctly. A few in the air tests were performed. During the later tests the plane was able to balance itself in straight or turning flight. GPS navigation in flight was never able to be tested.
