The team build an autonomous drone that at the same time has fixed wings and a rotary-wing with 3 motors. The unmanned aircraft vehicle can manoeuvre a vertical take-off. Before they take off all, the motors are vertical.

After reaching a given altitude both motors in front transit to a horizontal position and the 3rd motor behind automatically switch itself off.At this moment the vehicle executes the drone transit from a rotary-wing to a fixed-wing drone without the need of an airport or a sizeable area for it to land.

With no pilot, the GP-1 can accomplish its mission and come back to the base with no incident. The GP-1  has a mission of “Search and Rescue”.It has the advantage to take off quickly and while in the sky to fly at high speed like every fixed-wing aircraft.
