Abstract

Content: ABSTRACT
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are essential in disaster relief. VTOL UAS can take off and land in confined areas without infrastructure, efficiently accessing disaster zones for life-saving missions. The AeroLay, designed for disaster relief, delivers up to 54 kg and can loiter for 17.2 hours to relay cell signals. It features quick battery swaps and an accessible fuel tank for rapid redeployment.
