Coordinated Flight WP_YAW_BEHAVIOR #951

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I request a coordinated heading mode to WP_YAW_BEHAVIOR for ARDUCOPTER.  This 
mode would crab into the wind on the way to the next waypoint.  It will, 
instead of banking in to the wind to maintain course in Face Next Waypoint, it 
will YAW into the wind (maintaining a level ship) on the way.  This is how real 
aircraft fly and seems straight forward to program.
You can call this Coordinated mode or Crab mode.  
It might also include a secondary mode or a behavior that, when holding 
position, the copter will weathervane into the wind.  This might reduce tipping 
of trad helis on landing.
Thanks,
Ray
