N2 - This paper presents the design and development of a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) fixed-wing aircraft intended for autonomous missions. It provides an overview of the current state of VTOL technology and its applications. The paper focuses on fixed-wing VTOL aircraft created by Academic Scientific Association High Flyers from the Silesian University of Technology in Poland. The design process and considerations are discussed in detail, including aerodynamics, selection of materials, hardware, control systems and software. Finally, the paper discusses real-world scenarios that the designed UAV could be used to solve real-world problems, such as targeted plant protection or the deployment of oral vaccines for wildlife. The authors successfully tested solutions presented in the paper during competitions and real practical applications. Overall, this paper provides a comprehensive look into the design and development of a VTOL aircraft for autonomous missions and presents its effectiveness and capabilities in solving real-life problems.
