Most fixed-wing VTOL unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) take off vertically, then transition to horizontal flight. This is a new type of UAV that has unique capability. It can vary its hover position from “nose up” (tailsitter) to “nose forward” (non-tailsitter) incrementally and continuously, and even hold a position at any angle in between.
