Virtual Piloting System [wireless helicopter control system]

Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems, currently used, are intended for military purposes only. The systems are usually designed for a particular aircraft with minimal adaptability between aircraft types. The complexity and cost of the aircraft, electronics package also makes it impossible for commercial use. Our product, The Virtual Piloting System (VPS), will hopefully minimize the dangers of piloting aircrafts, as well as, creating a system that can be implemented in virtually any aircraft at a low cost. The VPS is an integration of video, audio, and controls designed to assist pilots in flying any aircraft, from the safety of the ground, as if they were actually in the cockpit. Vital information such as attitude, speed, and range will be wirelessly relayed back to base and displayed in real-time to the pilot through display goggles. By moving the cockpit out of the aircraft, the production of future aircraft will no longer require complex and expensive instrumentation. Instead, a single VPS unit will be able to control multiple aircrafts for routine operations such as take-offs and landings.
