Due to the explusion in success of the small electric drones, various attempts have been made at man carrying versions. This particular craft takes things one stage further. It takes off and lands as a quadcopter, which it is, but when the need arises to go further, all four props can tilt forward, allowing the craft to fly as a normal fixed wing plane at a speeds up to 485 mph. VTOL controls tilt the engines. To takw off, advance the throttle to about 53% and lift off, once in the air, VTOL up to drop the props flat and throttle fully up.
