The Volansi Voly C10 is a Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) from Volansi of California. It combines the benefits of both vertical, rotary-wing and horizontal, fixed-wing flight in a single capable package. The general arrangement of the aircraft includes a centralized nacelle, high-mounted (straight) mainplanes, and a twin-boom tail unit joined by a shared horizontal plane atop the vertical rudders. A simple four-point leg assembly is used for resting / landing. Four lift propellers are set at the front of each boom and over their midway points leading to the tailfins. A "pusher" propeller is seated at the rear of the fuselage nacelle.
