Autonomous flight rotation speed

ArduCopter Copter 4.0
1

I want to set the speed to 16 20 m/s while flying autonomously. A 90 degree turn.
Or if I make a tight turn with spline points, will the drone go off course?

  1. In this case, does the autopilot adjust its speed?
  2. Should I reduce the speed at this waypoint?
    ! I want it to fly as fast as possible.
    What should I do?

The copter will automaticaly fly as fast as possible, but yes it will cut corners a bit.

It is NOT pysicaly possible to do 90° corners at full speed. Those are the laws of physics!

Only in gaming/CGI does that work :slight_smile: And even then with an unrealistic physics engine.

Well … with an infinite energy power source… it might do 89,99° :slight_smile:
