Vulture Mission Patch

Project Vulture is the DARE team researching TVC (thrust vectoring control).  It is currently working on the development of multi-purpose TVC software, as well as a drone that will function as a test bed for the first iteration of the software. We’re extremely passionate about advanced control and everything related to it, like propulsive landing.

The software

Vulture is working hard to develop software that can be used by anybody in the society.

The current architecture consists of a control algorithm and basic simulation software, both written in C++, and a GUI written in Python using PyQT.
