Introduce:
The FT-5 can be used with following flight modes:
Flight Plan
An automatic flight following waypoints according to a flight plan made of a set of defined geographic locations named waypoints. The path that is followed by the UAV can be modified at any moment, both prior and during the mission.
Camera Guided
The UAV moves in the direction that the camera is facing. This mode is especially useful for following moving targets.
Manual
Control by the operator. The camera angle is fixed pointing forwards and the operator controls the flight direction of the UAV. Turns are controlled by the autopilot ensuring that operation is within safe boundaries. For enhanced safety, this mode automatically switches down if there is no operator input for a certain amount of time.
Return
An emergency flight mode. This mode is automatically started after the loss of radio contact or GPS reception and makes the UAV fly to a preprogrammed point. It is only possible to re-initiate the flight plan following the re-establishment of radio contact between the GCS and the AV.
Take-off
Procedure is fully automatic. The air vehicle uses typical runway to speed up. After achieving desired velocity, the AV perform rotation and starts climbing. On 50 m altitude, the procedure finished and the AV begins the flight plan.
Landing
Procedure is fully automatic. Upon arrival at the descent area, the AV lowers the flight down to 100 m and continue to short final. The AV touches down on the pre-determined point and runway direction.
