Our live internship program is live now

Upcoming recorded course · In development

Flight Control & Simulation

Explore feedback, stability, and the adjustments that help a drone respond.

  • Recorded · Online
  • 4 planned modules
  • No drone required

What you’ll learn

Explain feedback control and investigate how parameter changes affect stability.

  • Orientation and movement
  • Sensor feedback
  • Control loops and introductory PID
  • Testing and comparing simulated responses

Who this is for

Learners curious about how drones balance and respond.

Before you start

Drone Technology Fundamentals, basic programming, and introductory maths.

Course curriculum

4 proposed modules
01Module 1Orientation and movement

Describe drone orientation and movement as the starting point for understanding stabilisation.

02Module 2Sensor feedback

Explore how sensor readings describe the state of a drone and provide feedback to a controller.

03Module 3Control loops and introductory PID

Follow a feedback loop and investigate how introductory PID parameters affect its behaviour.

04Module 4Testing and comparing simulated responses

Tune a simulated stabilisation system and use before-and-after response plots to explain the changes.

A preview of the planned scope. Lesson details will be confirmed as the course is developed.

Put it into practice

Your proposed project

Tune a simulated stabilisation system and present before-and-after response plots.

A piece of work you can explain and demonstrate.

Requirements & resources

  • A computer with internet access
  • The planned activities use simulation and response plots; a drone is not required

Final software, computer requirements and learning resources will be confirmed before enrolment opens. Fees, duration, release dates, certificates and hardware bundles have not been announced.
