Warm-up: How a quadcopter flies and what the basic controls do (pitch, roll, yaw, throttle). Answer in simple words. (5–7 minutes)
A quadcopter has 4 rotors (propellers). What is the MAIN reason it can stay in the air?
If all 4 rotors spin faster at the same time, what will the drone MOST likely do?
Controls vocabulary mastery: For each control, mark what it changes on the drone.
Tilts forward/back | Tilts left/right | Turns left/right | Goes up/down | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Pitch | ||||
Roll | ||||
Yaw | ||||
Throttle |
Yaw makes the drone turn left or right (like turning your head).
A drone uses stabilization to stay level. Which sensor is MOST important for sensing tilt (leaning)?
