Outline of Progress Report II Introduction: Context and Background Yearlong Goal and Validation Progress Description Gantt Chart Budget Conclusion

Introduction: Context and Background Initially used for military purposes

Introduction: Context and Background Quad copters are now readily available in commercial market

Introduction: Context and Background Rotation StationaryForward Motor control needed to maneuver a quad copter

Yearlong Goal and Validation Team 22 will design and build and then demonstrate a successful flight of the quad copter in class. If it is not possible to perform a test flight in class, a video of a successful quad copter in flight using the wireless control system will be provided.
