VTOL Specific

Improvements

• Rework VTOL transition functionality, expose two functions to the user:

  • When global position is available, the user can command HOLD & Transition, which first puts the vehicle in hold mode and then commands a transition.

  • When global position is not available, the user can command Altitude mode & Transition. In order for this to work, the user needs to have manual control available. This mode is useful when hold mode cannot be entered, due to the lack of global position, e.g. GPS denied.

• Enable terrain follow in Survey and Corridor Scan for VTOL in advanced mode

New features

• Path Planning & Following using Dubins Path Algorithm:

  • Plan and track path between waypoints such that vehicle makes no sharp turns and user is not required to set turnaround distance
