Deep stall landing

ArduPlane Plane 4.1

Hello all,

When I tested the deep stall landing on SITL, I realized that ‘plane-elevon’ and ‘plane-vtail’ frames fail to conduct the deep stall landing.

Does ArduPilot support the deep stall landing for the two frames?
You can reproduce the issue as following steps:

  1. ./Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py -v ArduPlane -f plane-elevon --speedup=4 --console -L Karuizawa -w
  2. param set EK2_ALT_SOURCE 2
    param set EK3_SRC1_POSZ 3
    param set TERRAIN_FOLLOW 10
    param set TERRAIN_ENABLE 1
    param set LAND_TYPE 1
  3. Load and run this mission

Plus, some of frames shows unstable roll and pitch control, or even cannot take off. This issue might be related to this topic.

  • quadplane-cl84: cannot takeoff / plane V4.0.3 works well.
  • firefly: cannot takeoff
  • plane-jet: still unstable roll and pitch
  • plane-tailsitter: cannot takeoff
  • quadplane-tilttri: still roll and pitch oscillations
  • quadplane-tilttrivec: still roll and pitch oscillations

Test version: ArduPlane V4.1.0beta7

wondering if you have any updates with this? were you able to achieve a deep stall landing with your plane running ardupilot? i’m trying to learn more about it myself

Did you succeed? I want to do a deep stall landing but I don’t know how to do it, thank you.

Is your plane capable of landing in deep stall?

Can it maintain attitude control at high angle of attack and keep body level in that state?
