Ground Controlled Auto Piloting

Abstract:

This paper deals with the new idea of implementing the auto piloting system that can be controlled from the ground. The ground controlled auto piloting system consists of microcontrollers that connect electric motors with various flying parts of the aero plane. The motors rotate as power is supplied from the programmed microcontroller.The working of the full system is made possible with the help of satellite navigation system, where wireless control on the flight from ground is not interrupted on any part of the earth. The objective of this method is that flights that suffer from a sudden knock out of pilot or a hijack can be managed from the ground by the authorized personnel in the ground (airport).
