WHO, HOW AND WHY
Our editorial standards
VibeDrone publishes educational content to help more people understand the engineering decisions behind drones. The articles are written under the VibeDrone Editorial Team label. This collective label is not a claim that an independently credentialed aerospace engineer authored or approved every paragraph.
Sources and original value
We favor primary documentation from aviation authorities, autopilot projects and reputable systems engineering references. When a numerical specification is relevant, a credible article should identify who published it, with what units and under what conditions. A citation should support the specific claim rather than serve as decorative credibility.
Product maturity and limitations
VibeDrone v0.5 currently provides conceptual layouts, aircraft references, preliminary mass and power arithmetic, synthetic scenario definitions and hypothetical cost workflows. It does not claim independently verified PX4/Gazebo execution, real aircraft manufacture, calibrated digital-twin performance or flight authorization. Content must be corrected as implementation status changes.
Review and corrections
Published technical or legal claims should be assessed against official sources and actual product evidence. The repository includes editorial checklists and proposed technical/safety review gates; their existence alone does not establish that each article received independent review. If a reader finds a specific error, the responsible workflow is to document the claim, source and correction rather than silently rewriting history.
AI-assisted drafting
AI tools may help brainstorm outlines, organize public source material and draft text, but they are not evidence. We do not intentionally invent customers, drone flights, performance measurements, licenses, regulatory permissions or author qualifications. This content is educational and does not replace professional engineering or legal advice.
