  1. Flight Tests and Experimental Models LAB Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, PolitehnicaUniversity of Bucharest 1 Polizu, sect. 1, Bucharest, ROMANIA Tel.: +40214023812 E-mail: parvu@aero.pub.ro

  2. FTEM Lab Mission • Provide students with practical insight in the study of Flight Dynamics, Guidance and Control, Aerodynamics, • Allow development of experimental skills with low costs • Create a team working environment • Accepting challenges of international contest • Gather sponsorships for further developments

  3. FTEM Lab history • Flight Tests and Experimental Models Laboratory was founded in 2008, autumn, at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Politehnica University of Bucharest • Founders: • Prof. V. Stanciu – Dean • Prof. S. Danaila – Department Head • Assoc. Prof. M. Stoia-Djeska – vice-dean • Assoc. Prof. P. Parvu – Head of FTEM Lab • Euroavia Bucharest – student association • August 2009 – Air Cargo Challenge 2009 • May 2011 – Future Flight Design 2011 • August 2011 – Air Cargo Challenge 2011 • May 2012 - NASA - Lunabotics Mining Competition

  4. Facilities 4 workbenches 2 computers 1 MICRO miller FF 500/CNC 1 Lathe system PD 230/E Various specific tools Seagull telemetry set Arduino Autopilot systems UAV DevBoard Autopilot systems Electric engines and propellers benchmark stand Subsonic wind tunnel

  5. Projects The Seagull Telemetry system has 3 main components: Seagull Dashboard Telemetry Receiver - this unit displays telemetry data, and sounds alarms when problems occur. Onboard Flight Data Recorder - this unit collects the data from built-in and external sensors. Onboard Telemetry Transmitter - this unit sends the data from the Recorder to the Dashboard Aerial platform: 1:10 Yak54 replica

  6. Projects Wind tunnel test of propellers and electric motors

  7. Projects The UAV Devboard The UAV Dev Board, originally designed by Bill Premerlani, is an IMU-based development platform for building controllers for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The UDB3 comes with a dsPIC30F4011 CPU, an MMA7260 three axis accelerometer and two dual-axis Inversense IXZ500 gyroscopes. With the addition of a GPS receiver, it can be used to develop a UAV controller for an RC plane. Aerial platform: Wing Tiger Art-Tech

  8. Projects • Features: • Programmable 3D waypoints; return-to-launch mode, in-flight reset ability, fully programmable actions at waypoint and totally expandable board. • Integrates the stabilization and navigation functions. Controls elevator, rudder and throttle, plus one accessory servo or ailerons. • "Fly-by-wire" mode gives the user a unique way to pilot the aircraft by telling it where you want to go and allowing the ArduPilot to fly the plane which is great for complete novices to fly. • Stores home waypoints and sensor calibration in EEPROM, so they are retrained even in the case of a system restart. • Supports Ground Stations for real-time telemetry • Uses a desktop setup utility for waypoints and autopilot settings. • Uses "cascading PID loops" to combine the stabilization and navigation functions seamlessly. The ArduPilot ArduPilot is an inexpensive, simple to use open source autopilot platform created by Chris Anderson and Jordi Munoz , with code developed by Jason Short and Doug Weibel. The hardware consists of the core autopilot board, and various sensors and accessories to add to its functionality.

  9. Projects The ArduPilot Aerial platform: various models
