METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT, PARTICULARLY, ROTARY-WING UNMANNED AIRCRAFT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide equipment including a touch screen (18) for communication with an unmanned aircraft, and a radio data transfer means, for activating an unmanned aircraft flying command by the contact and/or movement of one or two fingers at and/or from the position of a corresponding flying symbol displayed on a screen. SOLUTION: This method includes processes of (a) detecting the contact of fingers with a selective contact point in at least one previously defined zone (68) of the screen on which the flying symbol is not displayed yet, (b) displaying at the contact point on the screen, a flying icon (70) having a movable icon (72) to be displayed on the screen at a position of tracing movement of any of the finger contact points on the screen from an initial position to an offset position, (c) detecting the movement of the movable icon, (d) analyzing the direction and/or amplitude of the movement relative to the initial position when detecting the movement, and (e) activating the flying command according to the analysis result.
