RE: [Paparazzi-devel] IAS integration in to the autopilot's code

[akochevar]

The integration of true IAS should not be hacked or slapped together.  The Physics are well known and should be applied whenever possible.  The classic methods are to use pitch to control airspeed and throttle to control altitude.  With some knowledge of the vehicle a simple aero model can be constructed to aid in the overall accuracy of the controller.  I hope this is all taken into account :)

Hi Aj.
I would take the advice of a pilot (friend of mine) and would never fall
below
stall speed plus the wind gust speed plus 10% .
After that the code should be based on this rule.
I will also try and integrate the airspeed to the code but as many said
already
this will take a lot of testing.
Chris
