1. Field
The invention relates to a method of flying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in response to emergency conditions.
2. Background
UAVs are typically controlled by a remote operator via wireless communication. It is often the case that when a component of the UAV fails, or some functionality is lost, the unmanned aerial vehicle is unable to carry out a suitable change to its flight plan.
Furthermore, nothing in the prior art considers the possibility of multiple failures occurring.
Therefore, it would be desirable to have a method and apparatus that takes into account at least some of the issues discussed above, as well as other possible issues.
