Fixed-wing VTOL UAV: Introduction
- A fixed-wing VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is a fixed wing drone that can take off, fly, and land vertically, as well as hover in place
- Since inception, fixed-wing drones have transformed the way experts map the world. However, they also had reliability and safety issues owing to their belly landings.
- Fixed-wing VTOL UAVs are in huge demand for military as well as commercial operations since they combine the cruising flight efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft with the appropriate vertical landing of multi-rotors
Rise in Demand for Military and Commercial Aerial Operations
- Fixed-wing VTOL UAV can independently and safely take off and land vertically with highly sensitive sensors on a small area, and thus they perform effectively in the most difficult terrain with minimal noise. It is therefore considered a viable option for combat operations and battle damage management in military applications. Fixed-wing VTOL UAV are expected to become one of the most important equipment in life-threatening military missions.
- Furthermore, fixed-wing VTOL UAVs are also in great demand for several commercial applications such as aerial imaging, agriculture, and environmental inspection and monitoring.
- However, restrictions imposed on commercial use of unmanned aerial vehicles can affect the fixed-wing VTOL UAV market in some countries, at least during the first half of the forecast period
