1. Advanced VTOL Hybrid Architecture

This long-range VTOL aircraft uses a multi-rotor lifting system for vertical ascent and a fixed-wing cruise system for forward flight.
Key advantages:

• True vertical takeoff & landing (VTOL)

• No runway / launch catapult required

• Lower power consumption than multi-rotors

• Higher endurance and long-range capability

• Strong wind resistance due to fixed-wing stability

• Safe, reliable autonomous transition system

This hybrid format is ideal for mapping drones, survey UAVs, logistics drones, inspection aircraft, and long-distance industrial missions.
