Amazing work. Any idea what the XTE of a meatware pilot generally is? Seems like it would save fuel as well.

@jcims What is a meatware pilot?

[jcims]

@mx270a My silly name for an actual person (meatware being the brain :)). Just wondering how much overlap a typical driver would have compared to the autopilot.

[mx270a]

@jcims Average XTE of a human that is concentrating is probably 3 inches, but after you've been in the seat 10 hours it will be 6+ inches.

@mx270a Wow, that's a lot better than I would have guessed. Anyway, great vids!

you're steering it with an Arduino?

[mx270a]

@NullPoint84 Yes. The arduino is being used to send yaw rate, steering angle, and to control a hydraulic valve to change steering angle.

@mx270a haha that seems awesome and yet immensely dangerous at the same time!
