Falcon Hardware

These are the collected files for all the custom circuit boards for the Falcon aircraft project. All circuits were designed in KiCad 7, and the Gerber files for the circuits as ordered are included.

These systems were primarily designed by several members of HPVDT, overseen by the head of electronics. A block diagram describing their place in the overaching system has been prepared.
