Design and Development of Autonomous VTOL for Medicine Deliveries in Hilly Areas

This paper discusses the configuration of an autonomous hybrid VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft is systematic for the last mile delivery of medicines to rural and remote places. The developed aircraft has a payload capacity of 4 kg, a flying period of up to 45 min, and a high stability speed of 65 km per hour. This UAV is fitted with intelligent systems that enable it to operate autonomously even in places without a Global Positioning System and away from obstructions, which is essential in disaster-prone areas. This VTOL's folding wing structure reduces the Take-off and Landing area, making it more reliable.
