Our senior design project focused on creating a quad-rotor UAV, with a new twist: along with the typical VTOL and hovering capabilities, it has a wing mounted in the middle. Then it could turn 90 degrees and fly like an airplane, but without using control surfaces. The idea is to create a vehicle that could be put together quickly but enthusists, and the complex control system would take care of to aircraft atitude.
