XR-47B "Comet" Reconnaissance UAV

Description
Built for NJ's recon UAV challenge.
Got inspired by the US navy's X47B demonstrator and was thinking what if they turned it into a recon drone so here we are.

X47B info and pics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_X-47B

----------------- Drone features ---------------------

- integrated stabilised camera

- 883km/h top speed. Can reach >900km/h in a dive
- 730km/h cruise speed
- 300km cruise range


---------- Command Centre Features -------------

- Extensive utilisation of multi-function displays
- Comprehensive telemetry readouts
- "Scoot motors" to push the command centre out of the way



****************************************************
NOTES
****************************************************
- if you change the station's xmit frequency, you will also have to update the recv frequency on the drone
- ensure you have the gyroscope stabiliser enabled before activating Alt hold or Autopilot
- There seems to be a bug with the stabilised gimbal cam that breaks the tracking feature

what is the xmit frequency

Thx :)

Maximus55101©, the loitering is just a product of the autopilot. When the UAV passes the desired coordinate, it will try and turn around to go back to the point but because its moving pretty fast, it will end up moving in an arc as it turns around. the plane then just does this over and over again, orbiting around the set gps coordinate.

TLDR: it just does it because of the way the autopilot is set up.

May i ask how you were abe to make it loiter?

cool

This is a really cool creation.

I've got nothing to say to this except that its a very nice vehicle to fly around. I'll definetly be using this creation to scare my friend

this looks like something that would deploy from a futuristic airship/spaceship

that's strange, when i was testing it it was circling around well. I'll check it out and see if i can fix it
ZETH_27 16 Sep, 2021 @ 10:57am 
It would be nice if there was a way to circle a set objective. When you select an AP target it will tend to rubber-band around it instead if circling it which makes recon very difficult.
