The flight control controller allows to control the power supply system, electric motors with speed regulators and propellers, spraying system and lighting equipment according to possible software algorithms and to transmit data through the on-board module of data transmission to the ground control station, information.
Pilot-navigation information sensor systems measure and transmit data of the altitude, speed, air temperature, location coordinates and possible obstacles on the way to the flight control controller, which transmits them through the onboard I / O module to the ground control station.
