In this paper, the mechanical and aerodynamic design, carbon composite production, sensor-actuator integration and flight tests of a new unmanned aerial vehicle, which is capable of vertical takeoff and landing like a helicopter and long range horizontal flight like an airplane, is presented. Performance of the sensor actuator integration is verified with simulations and experiments.
