    Abstract: 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).

    Abstract: An aircraft defining an upright orientation and an inverted orientation, a ground station; and a control system for remotely controlling the flight of the aircraft. The ground station has an auto-land function that causes the aircraft to invert, stall, and controllably land in the inverted orientation to protect a payload and a rudder extending down from the aircraft. In the upright orientation, the ground station depicts the view from a first aircraft camera. When switching to the inverted orientation: (1) the ground station depicts the view from a second aircraft camera, (2) the aircraft switches the colors of red and green wing lights, extends the ailerons to act as inverted flaps, and (3) the control system adapts a ground station controller for the inverted orientation. The aircraft landing gear is an expanded polypropylene pad located above the wing when the aircraft is in the upright orientation.
