Abstract: An automated flying transport vehicle that capitalizes on the strengths and complexities of a fixed and rotary winged aircraft. The air transport vehicle comprises a body aerodynamically designed to generate lift and a plurality of rotors that can generate lift as well as forward thrust from which a fixed wing portion of the air transport vehicle will begin to generate additional lift allowing for a sustained flight.
