Having a reliable flight control system is paramount for the success of any manned aircraft. While the current convention of using control mechanisms akin to analog sticks and steering wheels has proven to be timelessly effective, such mechanisms can often lack one valuable prospect: The immersion factor.
Our solution
This is where GyroGlove comes into play. GyroGlove is a modern alternative to the classical stick-lever-wheel approach to flight control, ultimately allowing the pilot to control the aircraft simply by rotating their hand (orientation control) and curling their fingers (thrust control). These systems work elegantly in tandem to provide an immersive sensation of being “one with the aircraft”, so to speak.
System Specifications
Flight glove battery life exceeds RC plane battery life by at least 100%
Aircraft rotation stays within ±5.0° of IMU rotation (±7.5° for yaw axis)
IMU capable of detecting rotation between ±85.0° along each axis
Flex sensor capable of generating dynamic output over 90.0° flex range
Functional range of at least 100 meters
Control latency of 20 milliseconds or less within the functional range
