[Paparazzi-devel] Rotorcraft AP Modes for Fixed-wing Aircraft?

[Chris Wozny]

All,

I noticed that there are many rotorcraft configurations for autopilot mode. Is there anything like this for fixed-wing aircraft? I'd like to be able to hover our VTOL aircraft and maintain it's altitude with just the Aspirin IMU (v1.0) on Lisa/M (which would require some sort of reference altitude.) I'm not even sure if this is possible due to IMU drift. I realize this is a peculiar situation since our aircraft has rudder and elevons instead of a quadcopter which most people use so I doubt there's something in place for it.

Thanks,

Chris
