Design Requirements
- Controls: given desired heading and angle of attack targets determine ideal motor coammnds
- Guidance: given desired waypoint, determine ideal heading and angle of attack targets
Constraints
- Limited degrees of freedom (rudder and tailwing)
Considerations
- What aerodynamic/hydrodynamic properties do we still need to determine to have an accurate model and how can we test for these?
- Wingsail “go/no go zones”
- How to optimize tacking/gibing?
- Will station keeping need a different algorithm than waypoint following or can you just give it one waypoint and tell it to stay there
