Thin Form Factor and Flexible I/O
Complete integrated avionics solution for small fixed wing and VTOL applications.
The Piccolo™ SL autopilots provide a complete integrated avionics solution that includes the flight control processor, inertial sensors, ported air data sensors, GPS receiver and datalink radio. Piccolo SL uses the same firmware and software as other Piccolo autopilots. The Piccolo SL with its thin form factor and flexible I/O capability is ideal for small fixed wing and VTOL applications.
