Propulsion System Overview UAV propulsion system is the machine that produces force to run the aircraft. The force of flight consists of altitude, roll, pitch, and yaw. Air fluid is accelerated by the rapidly spinning propellers, and the reaction to this acceleration produces a force on the aircraft. P100 Maximum Takeoff Weight 49.1 kg...
Attitude Flying: Establishing Control of the Aircraft’s Flight Path Attitude provides information about an object's orientation with respect to the local level frame (horizontal plane) and true north. GNSS attitude solutions typically consist of three components: roll, pitch and yaw. The easiest way to understand what we mean by attitude is to consider a plane with three linear axis running through it: Wing up/down = Roll...
Page 19
Attitude measurements are important for precise positioning in UAV. For XAG UAV, the attitude flying will looks like: P40/P100: If the tilt angle reaches its limit, the UAV may lost balance and possibly crash immediately.

Spiral Feeder Spiral feeder is used to deliver granules to spreader disc in certain rate. During the flight mission, the UAV will generally speed up or slow down. To ensure the dosage per hectare, the spiral feeder rotation rate will adjust accordingly. It’s important to know that there are three sizes of spiral feeder.
Page 38
Please be aware of that A magnet on spiral feeder is used for measuring the spiral feeder stop position. If magnet is loss, the spiral feeder will no longer work and need to be replaced. 1-25...
There are two holds on one spiral feeder but only one magnet needs to be installed. Spreader Motor Spreader motor is used to rotate spreader disk. 1-26...
Spreader Disc Spreader Disc is used to uniformly distribute granules. Two spreader disc is installed vertically. Spreader disc can apply force on granules, so that granules can reach the speed above 20m/s. Assumed the flight height is 6 meters, the spreader disc can shoot the granules onto the ground surface within 0.3 second.
Level sensor can detect if the granule container is empty. This sensor is not capable of estimating the remaining quantity of granules inside container. Thus, the XAG One App will NOT display the remaining quantity of granule. Instead, it will display three unique status. They are offline, unoccupied, and spreading respectively.

Question: If for some reason, the flight altitude of the aircraft is greater than the pre-defined maximum value, or less than the pre-defined minimum value, do any error prompts appear on the XAG One App? Answer: There will be no alarm.
Manual flight failure Question: If UAV loses WIFI signal, will the aircraft hover? Does spraying system stop automatically? Answer: The aircraft will hover for 30 seconds, and then automatically stop spraying and return home. Question: If the UAV is commanded to keep moving forward, will UAV exceed the communication distance? Will UAV hover if disconnected? Will the spraying stop immediately? Answer: the UAV will hover, but will not stop spraying, which means the original state will be persisted.
Once turn-on, the spread/spray amount is at default 50% of maximum spread/spray amount. If press S+/S-, the amount will increase/decrease at 10% each press, the maximum spray amount varies according to each aircraft P40/V40, Maximum Flow Rate 10L/min P100, Maximum Flow Rate 12L/min 12. Question: What is this criterion of GPS signal loss? Answer: GPS is OK if its accuracy control is within 1m.
