Behind the scenes with Sporty's 2019 Learn to Fly Course

This Webinar will present practical flight control system design methods for aircraft and rotorcraft UAVs and illustrate these methods with flight-test case studies. First, the optimization-based approach to practical flight control design using CONDUIT® will be presented, with special emphasis on UAV applications. The majority of the webinar will present detailed case studies demonstrating methods and flight test results for full-scale and sub-scale UAVs. Recent case studies of multi-copter UAVs will be highlighted, since these configurations are receiving a lot of current interest in the UAV community.

The Software demos and overviews take place regularly. You can join every session, search through the list on the right to pick and choose your Vendor session or use the calendar below to view the dates for every scheduled session. Each session takes around 1 hour and will provide you with a good overview of the software solution. You can ask questions during the session using your Questions Box or simply sit back and view and listen.

The Internet of Things (IoT), as defined by the International Telecommunications Union, is “a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies”. IoT may generate new customer-serving and revenue-generating opportunities at airports, optimize airport operations, and create efficiencies that could impact various stakeholders.

During the Webinar, SITA FOR AIRCRAFT experts will take you on a demo of OptiFlight, for a typical flight, from a pilot’s perspective, showing recommendations for speeds both for climb-out and to enable on-time arrival at the best fuel/time ratio, possible shortcuts on-route, cruise level changes taking winds into account, and more. As you will see OptiFlight allows pilots and airlines to achieve significant fuel savings, optimize efficiency, and reduce carbon emissions for each flight.
