How do you control an eVTOL racing vehicle? | Alauda Aeronautics Taking Flight

In this Taking Flight episode we investigate how Alauda Aeronautics engineers are integrating HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick) control systems into the Alauda Mk3C with support from Telstra Purple and Amazon Web Services. Alauda Aeronautics Embedded Software Engineer Florian Breut runs through the steps to validate the new control layouts: through simulation, smaller drones and then in full-scale integration with the Mk3C in flight and race testing environments. Newly appointed #FIRSTDRAFT pilot Zephatali Walsh dives into the importance of simulation as an engineering testbed for validation. His work with Florian is designed to develop and integrate the new controls as well as to improve his own flying skills and familiarity with HOTAS. After all, these are the very systems he will be used to race in the EXA and Airspeeder Series over 2022 and beyond. #fighterjet #evtol #engineering Subscribe to our channel ➡️ Instagram ➡️ TikTok ➡
