How To Apply for a Drone Waiver

System identification methods are ideally suited for rapidly determining bare-airframe simulation models of fixed-wing and rotorcraft UAVs, since UAV configurations change widely throughout their development process. Also the parameters needed for a physics-based model are often poorly known for UAVs, or the modeling assumptions do to correspond well to the physical characteristics of modern UAV configurations. A full-flight envelope UAV simulation can be obtained from “stitching” together only a few point identification models, obtained from a very limited flight-testing program. This webinar will review the fundamentals of the frequency-response method for UAV aircraft and rotorcraft system identification. Special methods are needed for modern multi-copter or eVTOL configurations with highly redundant controls. Identifications methods and results are illustrated with many recent UAV examples. Particular emphasis is given to the important role of system identification in UAV flight control development, implementation verification, and documentation of performance. The course will review key methods, computational tools, and complimentary reference material. The lecture material will be followed by a question and answer period.

This complimentary 60-minute webinar provides an overview of effective psychometric profiling and show you how you can use psychometric profiling tools, using real-world examples in pilot selection. We explore how to read personality profiles and its best utilization in an aviation context.

Since 2016, the U.S. has been racing to catch up with Chinese and Russian hypersonic weapons development. But political change has installed a new group of leaders in the Pentagon, including some who are now questioning the relevance and cost of such weapons. This webinar will explain in detail the breadth of the hypersonic weapons portfolio now in development and testing, and debate the operational utility of such weapons versus slower or less maneuverable alternatives in a future conflict.

Is big data the fuel to accelerate digital transformation in the aviation sector? Cirium has spoken to major airlines, airports, ANSPs, OEMs, MROs and financial institutions who cite digital transformation as a priority to their recovery. Join Cirium LIVE for the Digital transformation of aviation, to hear from Cirium data and technology experts, and from industry leaders on the importance of a digital first strategy. Rachel Humphries, Director Of Communications at Cirium will moderate the webinar.
