== Trip ==
We will take off around Nice and land at Calvi. The distance to fly is about 180km.

[[Image:trajet.jpg|600px|Trip]]

== Specifications ==
*'''Span:''' 1.5 m
*'''Wing area:''' 0.21 m2
*'''Weight:''' 2 kg
*'''Cruise speed:''' 15 m/s = 54km/h
*'''Batteries:''' 3 lipo-cells, 21Ah tested at 18Ah
*'''Range:''' 250km

== Performances ==

Corsica should be capable to fly more than 250km at its designed conditions. Only the batteries have been tested and are not as good as expected. According to our last calculations, the first prototype should be able to fly around 220km.

== News ==

The manufacturing is in process and the first plane should be ready by the end of January.
The first prototype is ready to fly and the first flight is scheduled March 5.

== Planning ==

First manufactured plane in early February

First flight in early March

Second manufactured plane in late March

Third manufactured plane in late April

Trip to Corsica in early June

== Wiring ==
Motor : SRV0

Right : SRV2

Left : SRV6

Elevator : SRV7

Current sensor : ADC3 (ie ADC1)

Gyro : ADC5 (ie ADC2)

Battery yellow wire : 3.7V

Battery white wire : 7.4V

ESC idle consumption : 90 mA

Tiny idle consumption : 120 mA

Corsica idle consumption : 250 mA -> 3W

You will find other pictures here : [http://picasaweb.google.fr/azertylr/Corsica?authkey=Gv1sRgCMXQxJH-s5DGWQ&feat=directlink# Corsica Picasa]

== Trip ==
We will take off around Nice and land at Calvi. The distance to fly is about 180km.

[[Image:trajet.jpg|600px|Trip]]

== Specifications ==
*'''Span:''' 1.5 m
*'''Wing area:''' 0.21 m2
*'''Weight:''' 2 kg
*'''Cruise speed:''' 15 m/s = 54km/h
*'''Batteries:''' 3 lipo-cells, 21Ah
*'''Range:''' 250km

== Performances ==

Corsica should be capable to fly more than 250km at its designed conditions. Only the batteries have been tested and are not as good as expected.

== News ==

The manufacturing is in process and the first plane should be ready by the end of January.
The first flight is scheduled at the end of February.

[[Image:skin.jpg|600px|Skin]]

== Trip ==
We will take off around Nice and land at Calvi. The distance to fly is about 180km.

[[Image:trajet.jpg|600px|Trip]]

== Specifications ==
*'''Span:''' 1.5 m
*'''Wing area:''' 0.21 m2
*'''Weight:''' 2 kg
*'''Cruise speed:''' 15 m/s = 54km/h
*'''Batteries:''' 3 lipo-cells, 21Ah
*'''Range:''' 250km

== Performances ==

Corsica should be capable to fly more than 250km at its designed conditions. Only the batteries have been tested and are not as good as expected.

== News ==

The manufacturing is in process and the first plane should be ready by the end of January.
The first flight is scheduled at the end of February.

== Planning ==

First manufactured plane in early February

First flight in late February

Second manufactured plane in late Mars

Third manufactured plane in late April

Trip to Corsica in late May

== Communication ==
We will use an onboard GSM transceiver who will send to a ground station the position, battery voltage, speed ... each minute. We hope the GSM network will work in the middle of the sea

|-
|style="color:#000"|[http://www.nongnu.org/paparazzi/ Paparazzi] is a free and open-source hardware and software project intended to create an exceptionally powerful and versatile autopilot system by allowing and encouraging input from the community. The project includes not only the airborne hardware and software, from voltage regulators and GPS receivers to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filtering Kalman filtering] code, but also a powerful and ever-expanding array of ground hardware and software including modems, antennas, and a highly evolved user-friendly ground control software interface.
|-
|All hardware and software is open-source and freely available to anyone under the [http://www.gnu.org GNU] licencing agreement. [[Get_Hardware| Several vendors]] are currently producing and selling Paparazzi autopilots and popular accessories, making the system easy and affordable to all.
|-
|The key feature of the paparazzi autopilot is its unique combination of infrared thermopiles and inertial measurement for attitude sensing, providing a robust and accurate attitude estimate that requires no ground calibration and can recover from any launch attitude.
