Autel Alpha - 3.8.3 Intelligent Flight Function

Chapter 3 Aircraft 55
Ludicrous
Forward: 25 m/s; Backward: 18 m/s; Left and right: 20 m/s; Ascend: 15 m/s;
Descend: 10 m/s.
Warning
 If you have not fully mastered the flight control of the aircraft, it is not recommended for
you to switch to Ludicrous mode.
 When flying close to the ground, it is recommended to switch to Slow mode for safety.

When switching to Ludicrous mode, the obstacle avoidance function of the aircraft will
become unavailable, and the aircraft will not automatically avoid surrounding obstacles
during flight. Please pay attention to the surrounding environment when using it, and
manually control the aircraft to avoid obstacles.

When switching to Ludicrous mode, its flight speed is greatly improved compared with
Standard mode, so the braking distance in this mode will be correspondingly extended. You
should maintain a braking distance of at least 50 meters when operating the aircraft in this
mode to ensure personal and flight safety.
Intelligent Flight Function
 Accurate Landing
The accurate landing function uses the downward binocular visual sensing system of the aircraft
to record the information at its take-off point. When the aircraft is returning to the home point
or landing, vision algorithms are used to calculate the distance between the aircraft and the take-
off point in real time so as to make sure that the aircraft successfully lands at the take-off point.
 Landing Protection
The landing protection function uses the downward visual sensing system of the aircraft to
create a depth image, then calculate the flatness and angle of the depth image to detect whether
the surface is flat enough for a safe landing.
 Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance
The intelligent obstacle avoidance function uses the combined observation results of the visual
sensing system and the forward millimeter-wave radar sensing system of the aircraft to calculate
the optimal flight path, achieving obstacle avoidance in multiple directions.
Hot Swap Battery
The Autel Alpha aircraft supports hot-swappable batteries, which allows you to replace smart
batteries without powering off the aircraft, thus avoiding waiting for rebooting.
