Title:
Blakebrough's Winged Self
Description:
Blakebrough's Winged Self hovers like a flying carpet controlled by the artist's body movements. This is a real flying platform based on the 1950s vertical flight experiments of Charles Zimmerman proving the feasibility of a simple aircraft flyable by anyone capable of riding a bicycle. You can see it in person at The Big Chill festival this summer.

Having trouble getting enough power out of the battery pack or motors (will try another battery later), but Blackfin board is working nicely, driving 2 servos and 2 electronic speed controllers. Once battery and motor issues are resolved, we'll add accelerometers for attitute and a gyro for yaw |

It is a quadrotor VTOL UAV with a 200 gram payload capacity and 15-20 minute flight endurance (depending on battery capacity and payload). I designed the attitude estimation and control system, which controls the pitch and roll angles within 15 degrees from level hover. I undertook one year towards my phd in VTOL UAV related research before ... |
