Urban Aeronautics, Ltd, has successfully completed the first phase of its flight testing of the AirMule Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). The flight test phase has consisted of autonomous hovers, with the vehicle maintaining stabilized in height and attitude position, with on-board Fly-By-Wire system controlling the three rotational axes of the vehicle (Pitch, Roll and Yaw). The next series of tests will examine the vehicle's position keeping abilities, as the vehicle is expected to fly tetherless for the first time.
