Abstract: The project aims at designing, modelling and analysis of a fixed wing vertical take of landing (VTOL) UAV (Transitional aircraft), (Hybrid drone) and evaluate its performance of airfoil at different angle of attacks. The aircraft possess the merits of fixed wing aircraft which includes high speed, endurance and range and (VTOL) which includes hovering capability and precise low speed flight response which is extremely helpful in remote areas. The CAD modelling of the UAV is done with help of CATIA software The mathematical modelling is done using MATLAB & SIMULINK analysis of the airfoil using ANSYS (CFD simulation). Ultimately the project aims to develop a high-performance UAV that can take off and land vertically while providing efficient forward flight capabilities where the UAV is required to operate in harsh and extreme environmental conditions.

Keywords: Fixed wing, performance, low speed flight, endurance & range.
