AeroVironment SkyTote

AeroVironment SkyTote

The SkyTote is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), tail-sitting Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL)-fixed wing hybrid plane, which attains the advantages of both airplane designs (respectively VTOL takeoff capability and decreased energy usage). It was developed by AeroVironment, under a contract given by the Air Force Research Lab, and its primary purpose is cargo-delivery.
