Building a Telemetry Ingestion API for eVTOL Prototyping with FastAPI and Pydantic

Short summary

A developer built 'aero-telemetry', an open-source FastAPI/Pydantic telemetry ingestion API for eVTOL prototyping that validates sensor data (battery, GPS, IMU, motor RPM) against aerospace-realistic ranges. It uses SQLite by default with SQLAlchemy 2.0 async, a repository pattern, and 26 pytest tests. v0.1.0 is Apache-2.0 licensed with PostgreSQL, WebSocket streaming, and Grafana integration on the roadmap.

  • aero-telemetry is an open-source FastAPI/Pydantic API for eVTOL flight test data ingestion
  • Validates sensor readings against aerospace-realistic ranges (e.g., 400-800V battery packs)
  • Apache-2.0 licensed, SQLite default, with PostgreSQL and real-time streaming on the roadmap
