helicopter. The difference with a plane is the reaction that the aircraft will have to the increased airspeed over the wings. The quadcopter will
feel the same going into wind whereas a plane will not.
Other flight modes such as Auto-Leveling change the flight characteristics of a multi-rotor aircraft and make it even easier to fly. These
modes will be covered in Chapter 7. However, the beginning pilot should start with the basic rotational rate input flight mode.
2.4 HoverCore™
The HoverflySPORT™ flight controller system is based on our core Sensor Data Fusion technology called HoverCore™. Lots of data from
accelerometers and gyroscopes is useless no matter how fast you sample if the data is not fused effectively to provide stable flight control
outputs. Our propriety HoverCore™ algorithm utilizes parallel processing architecture to independently collect senor data. Then the algorithm
utilizes custom digital filtering to extract only the necessary variables from all available data. The flight control algorithm utilizes the data it
needs to generate Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) signals to accurately control external ESCs. All of this happens hundreds of times a
second to provide reliable and highly stable flight control.
