Abstract
Vertical Take-Off and Landing(VTOL) aircraft has combined advantages of fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft. Practical VTOL is rare because the VTOL mechanism is complex, also characteristics is different when hovering and cruising, and it is difficult to control the transition flight. The purpose of this study is development of Tailsitter VTOL using multicopter mechanism. It is maneuverability by selecting the mode of fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft. We measured payload of prop unit. Test VTOL aircraft was designed and made from the measured payload. Hovering test was performed to examine maneuver because it takeoff and landing by hovering.
