This paper details the successful takeoff and landing of a wing-tip-connected meta aircraft prototype. The aircraft consisted of two commercial off-the-shelf high wing trainers connected wing tip to wing tip with three neodymium magnets. The flight controller on board each aircraft was a Raspberry Pi 3B complete with Navio2 flight controller. The software running on the aircraft was built using Emlid developer libraries with custom C++ wrappers for the inner-loop control system. The flight control algorithm reads state information and seeks to move the aircraft to a desired attitude depending on pilot inputs. The pilot commands both aircraft, and each flight controller responds independently to these inputs. No communication between aircraft was necessary to ensure stability. Simulation results are included to highlight successful performance of the controller with one aircraft and two connected aircraft.
