SUMMARY

 

For critical missions, Menet Aero wanted a higher fidelity understanding of the loading on its drones in order to use these loads to design and optimize better aircraft. The company worked with Wolf Star Technologies to explore an initial implementation of Wolf Star’s True-Load load reconstruction software on its hexacopter. For the initial application, Menet and Wolf Star agreed to concentrate on just two of the six arms on the hexacopter to generate an initial understanding of the applicability of the technology while minimizing instrumentation logistics.
