QNET 2.0 VTOL Board
This product is no longer available.
The QNET 2.0 Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) Board is ideally suited to teach and demonstrate the fundamentals of flight dynamics and vertical take-off and landing flight control. Developed exclusively for NI ELVIS platform and LabVIEW™ software, the system can easily be configured to control the flight of the trainer using a variety of control methods.

Product Details
The QNET 2.0 VTOL Board consists of a high air flow DC fan with a safety guard, attached to a solid aluminum arm. An adjustable counterweight is attached on the other end of the arm. This allows the position of the weight to be changed, which in turn affects the dynamics of the system. The arm assembly pivots about a single-ended optical encoder shaft. The encoder measures the angular position of the arm, i.e. the VTOL pitch position.
