Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been a high potential topic in the aerospace industry during the last decades due to its multirotor and fixed-wing nature of the aircraft. Besides, having the ability to rapidly deploy from a tight airstrip and gathering Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) information is the best way to be one step ahead of the enemy. In this paper, we present the implementation and development of gasoline-electric hybrid propulsion VTOL Unmanned Aerial vehicle respectively. The Hybrid propulsion VTOL UAV offers image and real-time video transmission to the ground station with fully autonomous control to get the best view of the enemy from the sky. The gasoline-electric hybrid propulsion system provides long flight endurance with efficient power consumption. The fundamentals of the multirotor and the conventional fixed-wing aircraft present the theoretical background of the aircraft. The accomplished design consists of high-performance multirotor motors with an efficient gasoline engine. Furthermore, the control system architecture, avionics, and power distribution system presented with addressing cost-effective trending design techniques. The performance of the system has been improved using commercially off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware.
