Takeoff & Land
Last updated

The takeoff of a drone takes 10 seconds. 3 seconds to take off, 7 seconds to go to the specified altitude.
In a family, the drones take off one after the other in the order of the family (see Family)
To make the drones take off, you must select them.
Only the first drone of selected families that has not taken off will take off.
If the drones in real life are placed on a slope, the minimum takeoff altitude must be the difference of height plus 1 meter.
Clicking on the Land button will trigger the autopilot to land from the current position.
When a drone lands, it will go down until it reaches the ground.
The drone lands at a constant slow speed unless it starts to land higher than 4 m above its initial position. It will go down faster until it reaches 4 m.
At the start of the land, the drone will switch off its LEDs, so it will not be possible to control it after the start of the land.
The recommended altitude to land is 2 m, we discourage starting the land higher than 4 m if you want to have a precise landing position.
Add family grids creates grids for each wave of drones in families
It can be used to easily land the drones by using a normal Go to target.
RTL will automatically move successively all drones above their original takeoff positions before landing.
Land altitude is the altitude the drones will move to before landing
Min distance is the minimum distance between the drones during the RTL
Reposition duration is the duration the drones wait after arriving above their takeoff positions before landing.
Descent speed is the constant speed the drone use during the first phase
Frame delta is the frame delta between possible start, i.e. if Frame delta is set to 1, the drones can start the RTL on any frame, if it is set to 2, the drones can start the RTL on every other frames.
The RTL computation time and the time to execute the RTL can vary depending on the parameters used and the number of crossing trajectories.
