DESIGN STEPS OF VTOL UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE

Nowadays there are several Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is in use. Most of them however are conventional or rotary wing type. They can be successfully applied for several tasks but sometimes the necessity of the runway for conventional take-off and landing or lack of hovering capability means significant disadvantage. For rotary wings the limited flight parameters might cause similar problems. Therefore the combination of the good flight parameters and vertical take-off and landing capability would be advantageous. Developing of the on-board flight control of such an airplane is a very complex task therefore the first stage of planning and development must be done on a simplified aircraft model. This article explains the configuration procedure of this simplified model aircraft.
