A VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) comprises a vehicle body, wings, ailerons, three or more vertical fins, motors and propellers, wherein the ailerons are hinged with the wings; at least one vertical fin is arranged on the upper side of the VTOL UAV, at least one vertical fin is arranged on the lower side of the VTOL UAV, and at least part of the trailing edges of the vertical fins are located at the rear parts of the trailing edges of the wings; the motors are connected with the wings and comprise motor bearings; the propellers are connected with the motor bearings. At least part of the trailing edges of the vertical fins are located at the rear parts of the trailing edges of the wings, so that the trailing edges of the vertical fins serve as a landing gear to support the VTOL UAV when the VTOL UAV is placed vertically; the ailerons are hinged with the wings, and accordingly, the VTOL UAV can take off vertically, land vertically or hover at high altitude through rotation of the ailerons and can fly horizontally at a high speed.
