The MF7 and MF8 are compact hardware computer and were designed for various application possibilities. The heart of the platform forms an FPGA together with a high performant multicore processor.
Features
Integrated video processing and link system for mini air systems
Weight class, all in one solution, flight control, link, video
Main Benefits
Beside the variety of interfaces, it can be equipped with internal IMU or AHRS. Due to the compact and extremely leightweight design, both systems are perfectly suitable for the use in aviation.
