Calção Crio
Test of the hover controller, in particular in yaw direction (multicopter frame, i.e. roll direction in airplane frame). The yaw is stabilized using the flaperons which are in the propeller wash. The flaperon deflections are visible when Chris pokes the kite with the broom. The controller quickly reacts and stabilizes smoothly the yaw angle back to zero. Note that differential propeller directions as used for small multicopter-drones do not offer nearly enough yaw moment for control authority of the kite's inertia or expected wind loads. In addition, such a control scheme greatly reduces the thrust for yaw stabilization. This is why this is not feasible for our system.
Built for expedition style cruising by Kleven in Norway in 2016, the ice-classed superyacht has a range of 8,500 nautical miles. Originally commissioned by an experienced owner who has owned a long line of explorer and other luxury yachts over the years, she was sold to her current owner in 2018.
