Tail Sitter
 
 
 
 







 
 

The Tail-Sitter UAV is a V-TOL platform developed by Aeronautics around 2000. It was designed to perform the unique flight profile of vertical Take-off and Landing, air rotation, and horizontal flight. The Tail-Sitter's flight profile combines the advantages of taking-off and landing in rough/crowded/field/urban conditions, and the endurance/range of horizontal flying platforms.
