Landing pattern for RTL and LAND in VTOL UAVs #10669

Closed moreba1 closed 4 years ago

moreba1 commented 6 years ago

Hello , In the vtol drones, when RTL start at high altitudes, the drone reaches the top of the home at high altitude and the Battery consumption is too much in order to discend in the MC mode. I have an professional idea for RTL. This idea needs to change in autopilot code and the Qgroundcontrol software . we can design a landing pattern such as a fixed wing landing pattern using the software. The UAV must returns to a loiter(altitude) waypoint in FW mode ,Then when it’s reach to direction of home, it must at that altitude start the transition to to MC and reach to the top of the home. Then reduce the altitude to Land . In this landing pattern we can define this parameters: 1- distance(to Land point) and heading of loiter waypoint 2- loiter altitude 3- landing waypoint

Sounds good to me.

@moreba1 couldn't this all be done in QGC with QGC "VTOL Landing Pattern" that is similar to the "Fixed Wing Landing Pattern" currently implemented in QGC?

tubeme commented 5 years ago

I think it shouldn't be dependent on QGC because it is part of the critical procedures, ie should be self contained in the core of PX4.
