Physical Build & First Flight

Built and integrated the avionics dev board stack onto a flying-wing airframe, routing wiring for robustness and ensuring vibration resistance suitable for airborne operation. The system successfully flew, validating both the hardware and control software end-to-end. Thermal management was considered throughout for operation in hot climates, such as that of Hong Kong.

KiCad schematic

Schematic Design

Designed the avionics schematics in KiCad, covering power regulation, sensor integration, and communication buses across the dev board stack.

Attitude hold algorithm

Basic Attitude Hold Algorithm

Developed a stabilization algorithm for the flying-wing UAV to counter Dutch roll, using IMU feedback and closed-loop control to improve directional and roll stability. The algorithm prioritizes robustness over computational complexity, and was validated in flight.
