Flying over a weather station on a lake

Today, we flew over a calibrated weather station on a nearby lake to take scientific data. This experiment will assist a team of physicists at the University of Granada to estimate the local wind using fixed-wing drones at different altitudes.

In addition, we have the pleasure of hosting Yu Zhuo! He is a Ph.D. student from INRIA in Lille, France, who assisted Héctor García de Marina and me during the operation. Yu, under the supervision of Professors Andrey Polyakov and Gang Zheng, is researching Guiding Vector Fields for autonomous vehicles. During his visit, we plan to integrate some of his work into the guidance of our UAVs.
