摘要 A method of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) flight includes providing horizontal thrust in-line with the direction of forward flight of the UAV(110)using at least one electric motor(120), providing primary vertical lift for the UAV(110) during the forward flight using a fixed and non-rotating wing(125), repositioning the at least one electric motor(120′)to provide vertical thrust during transition of the UAV(110)to vertical flight(A) for descent(E),landing the UAV(110)on a surface(270) using a vertical approach after the motor repositioning, and deploying an anchor(150) to secure the UAV(110)to a surface(270).
