Controlling a Hydrogen UAV with Java [Fun: Anyone want to join]

[Mark van Wyk]

So, we are in the process of developing a hydrogen powered UAV. We're taking an existing airframe manufactured in Johannesburg and retro-fitting it to be powered by hydrogen fuel cells. We're doing this with a small seed fund from government, in partnership with the manufacturer.

At the same time, we're developing a flight management system for the aircraft - and our other aircraft to come. We've taken on a masters aeronautical engineering student to help.

We'll be using realtime Java ona  RTOS to develop the software. Grassroots / Greenfields.

We'll be integrating very exciting and interesting adaptive learning, computer vision, 3D reconstruction and other interesting things.

Unfortunately we don't have budget to pay at the moment, but if this is something that interests you and you ant to get into, there are always opportunities that come out of these things - if not at least a fun learning experience and a great CV project :)

We have a basic SITL demo going already.
