In this article, a novel Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Single Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SR- UAV) will be presented. The SRUAV’s design properties will be analysed in detail, with respect to technical novelties outlining the merits of such a conceptual approach. The system’s model will be mathematically formulated, while a cascaded P-PI and PID-based control structure will be utilized in extensive simulation trials for the preliminary evaluation of the SR-UAV’s attitude and translational performance.
