SkyTote Vertical Take-off UAV
Engineers at the US Air Force Research Lab and AeroVironment Inc are working on the SkyTote unmanned aircraft.
The SkyTote takes off vertically like a helicopter then flies like an airplane at up to 200km/hr (125 mi/hr).
The SkyTote is 8 feet tall, weighs just over 200 pounds and has a 52 horsepower engine. It can carry a 50 pound payload up to 150 miles to land and take-off vertically.
The unit operates autonomously but a pilot can take control if it runs into trouble.
