The drones research program develops a mini and micro-drone activity which links several activities ( flight mechanics, electronics, computing, simulation, optimization, regulations …).
A complete system for mini and micro drones, named Paparazzi (http://paparazzi.enac.fr) was developed as a free OpenSource software (licence GPL V2), many cooperations with ENAC research teams and foreign labs followed .
