Preparing for eVTOL Racing | Inside Alauda

In the first episode of Inside Alauda, Alauda Aeronautics Founder and CEO Matt Pearson looks back on Airspeeder’s successes of 2021 and early 2022: from our partnerships with IWC and Telstra, to our EXA Series Drag Race and recruitment of their first pilots. Matt also reviews progress on the Alauda Mk3 flight program and how it has rapidly advanced towards the first remotely-flown flying car / eVTOL races in Airspeeder’s 2022 EXA Series international Grand Prix. In the engineering team, vital preparations continue to ensure our Speeders are ready for race day. Alauda Aeronautics Embedded Software Engineer Florian Breut, as he runs through the steps to validate the new control layouts: through simulation, smaller drones and then in full-scale integration with the Mk3C in flight and race testing environments. Florian is integrating HOTAS (hands on throttle and stick) control systems into the Alauda Mk3C with support from Telstra Purple and Amazon Web Services. Newly appointed First Draft pilot Zephatali Walsh dives into the importance of simulation as an engineering testbed for validation. His work with Florian is designed to develop and integrate the new controls as well as to improve his own flying skills and familiarity with HOTAS. After all, these are the very systems he will use to race in the EXA and Airspeeder Series over 2022 and beyond. Alauda Aeronautics Embedded Software Engineer Andrei Pavlov also discusses how the team has improved the accuracy of these systems down to a centimetre through the use of fixed ground stations. We dive into the process of localizing Speeders and verifying navigation systems by flying Speeders on predefined flight paths in testing. Ultimately, the system ensures the safety of pilots with a Home Return function to be triggered in the event of loss of control which will return the Speeder to home position safely. GPS data is combined with sensor data and onboard cameras on Mk3 eVTOL race Speeders to enable every racing pilot to have this relative positional data displayed in their HUD. This great progress on collision avoidance is a boost ahead of the first of three international races in the EXA Series in 2022. #racing #evtol #engineering Make sure to like, comment and subscribe and follow Alauda Aeronautics on social media ⬇️ YouTube ➡️ https://bit.ly/AlaudaYouTube Instagram ➡️   / alauda.aero   Facebook ➡️   / alauda.aero   LinkedIn ➡️   / 35604751   CODE: LD-ENFBQPV3DLHIY
