A Paparazzi Design VTOL testing in California. Paparazzi is an Open Source Autopilot Design from ENAC University. More info at: http://paparazzi.enac.fr/

This biplane is flying in enhanced stability mode (AUTO1) and using a very sophisticated Kalman filter for added stability. It's a proof of concept used to test the filter.

  • I like the idea of two airfoils,it most likly would use a lot less power over a hover only mode of movement

  • first class

  • Very interesting and innovative design. I guess a minor drawback is the added difficulty of stationary hovering in windy conditions. (because of the wings being pushed by the wind)

    btw, what part of that flight was autonomous?

  • Great video, do you notice a significant difference in hover flight time vs "fixed wing" flight time? What max flight time can you get?

  • Good job it's amazing , how long way since 200 at Toulouse...!

  • Круто! Очень забавно выглядит :)

    Cool! Looks so funny :)

  • Very very good.Congratulations!Would the IDG600 gyro(which I extracted from a Motionplus) also work with the booz?

  • Oh, and is this flight RC or through a ground station or autonomous?

  • That is so insanely awesome...a QUAD hybrid! I have to ask: Do you know if it can slow down at altitude and hold a hover (turn back to traditional quad position) I assume it can? Have you tried adding a gimballing camera or any sort of payload to it?

    Anyway, great video...and an enviably beautiful landing!

  • Hat fully off, we are not worthy
