Autopilot Web Tool

The tool analyzes autopilot parameter sets and estimates performance envelopes for UAVs and robotic flight platforms. It accepts vehicle type, mass, propeller size, motor KV, battery specs, and environmental data to compute thrust, current, hover capability, and expected endurance.
Conceptually, it normalizes inputs, applies a modular rotor model, and derives energy budgeting alongside safety checks, enabling rapid scenario comparison without flight testing.
Who benefits: aerospace engineers, researchers, and pilots seeking tuning guidance, design optimization, and parameter validation. The tool’s unique value lies in its integrated, model-based yet lightweight approach, which couples core physics with practical constraints and exports to common formats for downstream workflows. Core features include unit-aware inputs, basic rotor-based thrust estimation, power and current budgeting, and an initial PID baseline suggestion. Optional advanced modes add payload variance, temperature/altitude adjustments, drag assumptions, and scenario comparisons. Use cases include pre-flight planning, iterative tuning during development, and quick feasibility studies for new airframes or mission profiles.
