Design your test plan
Build a tailored drone verification campaign
Define the mission, aircraft, and environment. Generate a proposed campaign with recommended test items, rationale, and a clear next step for discussion.
Mission profile
Start with the operational context and expected level of evidence.
1 = low operational consequence, 5 = highly mission-critical

Identified challenges
- Sensitivity to transient gust loading
- Flight stability in disturbed airflow (turbulence)
- Need for traceable, repeatable verification evidence for certification
Proposed test campaign
Flight envelope characterization
Establish a repeatable reference for controllability, power consumption, and performance before stressing the vehicle.
Hover stability under crosswind and gusts
Validate position hold, attitude control margins, and controller behavior under realistic disturbances.
Take-off and landing under crosswind and gusts
Demonstrate zero-failure in safety-critical phases of flight.
Turbulence response and recovery test
Assess robustness of flight control, state estimation, and vehicle behavior in disturbed flow.
Gust rejection and control margin test
Measure reaction to abrupt wind transients and identify limits before field exposure.
Testing for certification
All campaigns and reports will be designed to facilitate certification through testing.
Campaign estimate
