We designed “hybrid” fixed-wing drone that can fly as efficiently as airplanes, while still taking off and landing vertically like multi-copters.
Most drones are “multi-copters,” meaning that they have a series of rotors or propellers that allow them to hover like helicopters. But having rotors severely limits their energy efficiency, which means that they can’t easily carry heavy payloads or fly for long periods of time.
This drone can fly much faster for long period of time with heavy pay-loads having same maneuvering capabilities as that of multi-copter drone. While moving forward, it uses the wing to get lift and propellers to move forward with high speed making it best choice for racing.

It’s designed using the “SOLIDWORKS xDesign” app.
