Described are systems and methods for active weathervaning of a hybrid flight aerial vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Active weathervaning of the hybrid flight aerial vehicle during can be provided during vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)/hover flight without the assistance of any low-speed wind sensors and during transitions between VTOL/hover flight and fixed-wing, wing-borne, horizontal flight. Additionally, active weathervaning can be provided during propulsion mechanism failure conditions where the aerial vehicle may be experiencing failure conditions associated with one or more propulsion mechanisms.
