Micro Air Vehicles: XQ-138 - Tiny toy planes

Length: 28", Max Weight: 6.2 LB

Stand Up and Fly
The XQ-138, designed by University of Kansas aerospace engineering associate professor Ron Barrett, takes off and lands on its tail, courtesy of a spinning rotor. The entire airframe of the XQ-138 rotates 90 degrees for 150-mph forward flight. Actuators counter gusts of wind to keep the craft stable.
