1. An aerial vehicle comprising:

  • an inertial measurement unit (IMU) comprising;

    at least one gyroscope sensor configured to output angular data; and

    at least one accelerometer sensor configured to output acceleration data;

    a global positioning system (GPS) sensor configured to output location data; and

    vehicle controller circuitry electrically connected to the IMU and the GPS sensor and configured to;

    determine a wind direction based on (i) the location data from the GPS sensor and (ii) either the angular data or the acceleration data from the IMU; and

    determine an initial location based on the location data from the GPS sensor and establish a geo-fence based on the initial location.
