| Content Summary | A detailed technical design and performance comparison of current unmanned Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) vehicles is presented as a function of vehicle maximum speed, payload, range, endurance, and propulsion configurations. Mission applications and VTOL market characteristics are used to define design specifications for a new prototype unmanned VTOL vehicle suitable for a wide range of (mostly) civilian applications. The proposed VTOL vehicle's design phase is presented, including: performance capabilities calculation, fuselage strength evaluation and weight optimization via crash/drop tests. Drop tests performed have followed standard regulations used for airworthiness certification of such vehicles. The proposed VTOL vehicle is currently under prototype development. | en |
