This work focuses in the flight dynamics modeling of a VTOL Semi-Tandem Wing UAV concept and the study of the transition phase evaluating the trim curves along the flight regime, that is, from hovering to cruise flight condition. The VTOL UAV concept studied has the main feature of tilting both wing and horizontal tail, along with the rotors on both surfaces.
