Fundamentals of UAVs

This course provides a foundational understanding of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Students will explore the basic principles of flight, including lift, drag, thrust, and weight, as well as stability and control. The course will delve into the components of a UAV, including the frame, propulsion system, flight controller, battery, payload, and communication system. Additionally, students will learn about different flight modes, such as manual control, autonomous flight (waypoint navigation, GPS), and return-to-home (RTH) functions. Through this course, students will gain a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts and technologies that underpin UAV operation.
