Rabban

Rabban is our first prototype destined for airborne flight. It consists of a relatively barebones flyer, which is stripped down to the bare minimum needed to achieve controlled flight. This flyer is tethered to a stationary ground station, which consists of all the necessary controll hardware, along with a power supply.

What Rabban should achieve

• Improve upon the drive system of the Glossu, with a special focus put onto reducing the weight to a point where Rabban is capable of tethered flight.
• Implement a rudimentary controll scheme to give our developement of controll software something phyiscal to work with.
• Test out different solutions for reliable wireless communication while having a wired backup.

Implementing simulation results

Rabban is the first prototype that will be based both on the results of our physical prototyping as well as an expansive simulation campaign performed by our simulations team. The reason for this is, that our simulations team is ahead of the other RnD Teams by roughly one development Cycle, which allows them to have meaningfull results ready, when our design teams start working on a prototype.
