Project Abstract

CHIRP, or Coaxial Hovering Indoor Reconnaissance probe, is a senior design project at the University of Colorado for the 2003-2004 school year.

The goal of the project is to develop a stable, hovering UAV controllable in altitude and the yaw axis on a test stand.  To accomplish this the following systems will be developed:
- Lightweight airframe and mechanical system supporting coaxial, counter-rotating blades
- Avionics system with flight-control sensors
- Computer control system providing augmented stability.
