Abstract

In recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) is used for various purpose such as disaster investigation and Aerial photography. Vertical takeoff and landing(VTOL) used in this study is a UAV which has advantages of fixed wing aircraft and rotary wing aircraft. Tail sitter is one of VTOL. Tail sitter can vertical take-off and landing like a rotary wing aircraft, and it can fly long distances at high speed like a fixed wing aircraft.In this study, we aim to develop a tail sitter VTOL that can fly as a rotary wing machine during hovering, and as a fixed wing aircraft in horizontal flight by attaching a multi copter to flying wing aircraft.In this time, we designed and manufactured the flying wing aircraft for attaching a multi copter, and confirmed the operation of hovering and horizontal flight of the prototype.
