Re: Robotic Pterosaur Project at Stanford
James R. Cunningham pointed out:
Several days after those truck-mounted tests, it flew six times in one day
for
varying durations (all short), with an average of about half an hour of
prep
time between flights. Also, it was a pain in the you-know-what hanging on
to
the back of that truck and stabilizing the model during the truck-mounted
gimbal
tests. The videos where I wasn't hanging on for dear life were fixed
mounts
that only allowed the device to swing in yaw.
James, I am very pleased to be corrected and apprised of this success!
Bravo!
Phil Bigelow asks:
Is this video online somewhere?
My bad. Try
