Sign up for the Field trip to HAI Heli-Expo

by

The HAI Heli-Expo is coming to Atlanta this year! 

To celebrate, VFS GT is offering free one-day registrations to 30 VFS members for March 7th, 2023.

The registration includes access to an all-day career fair, the exhibition hall, the Rotor Safety Challenge events, and all HAI working group meetings, forums, and workshops (more information: https://heliexpo.com). The only requirements are to be a current student (GT or other) and to be a member of our parent organization, VFS (registered with the Atlanta chapter).

Tentatively, we plan on meeting up at 7am at the Weber building (bagels will be provided!) and walk as a group to the Georgia World Congress Center. Those who prefer to meet at the convention center directly can meet the group at the GWCC later.

To sign-up, fill out this form: [THE SIGN UP IS NOW CLOSED (Feb. 27, 2023 update)]

The spots will be given in a first come, first served basis.

Best,

VFS Atlanta

Nicholas Rehm Talk on Flight Controllers

by

On November 2nd, 2022, we had the pleasure of hosting Nicholas Rehm for a presentation on UAS Flight Controllers. Nick designed his own (open source) flight controller, dRhemFlight. He uses it in his drones that he tests in his videos, showing us how much is possible in the world of vertical flight, even from our own backyard.

Check out Nick’s Github and his Youtube channel !

The talk recording is available below:

Thank you to everyone that came to the meeting! We had an amazing turnout and we are excited to see you in our next talks!
