Section outline

  • Lesson Goal: Investigate flying robots, from autopilot systems in airplanes to modern drones. Highlight how gyroscopic sensors keep aircraft stable, and how new technologies have expanded what flying robots can do (like deliver packages or perform aerial photography).

    • ·         Micro-Topic 1: Airplane Autopilots and Gyros (Goal: Understand what an autopilot does in an airplane and how sensors like gyroscopes help keep aircraft (or any flying robot) stable and level during flight.)
