A drone that looks and flies like an airplane
The Spirit Vtail quadcopter is a crossover/hybrid between an airplane and a quadcopter. The Spirit will fill the gap between normal X-configuration quadcopters and FPV-racing quadcopters. An unconventional arrangement of the tail rotor configuration in a
V-shape ensures a better YAW control than the conventional configuration. A sleek design in combination with 3D maneuverability results in great flying performance and lots of fun: A drone that looks and flies like an airplane.
Design is the most immediate,
the most explicit way of defining what products become in people's minds.

Optional camera
Equiped with a 14 megapixel "fisheye" camera, the Spirit records videos and pictures in a 180° field with remarkable image quality.
A full-digital image stabilization technology allows the Spirit to take remarkably stable and clear aerial footage regardless of the drone movements. Splash and dust proof lens.

Vtail explained
There is a relationship between tail angle and lift generated.
At 30° arm angle, you get 86% of the original thrust (cos(30°) = 0.86).
By applying rudder input the the YAW effect is more efficient.
