This paper proposes a novel ducted-fan tiltrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with vertical takeoff and landing capability. Firstly, the geometry of the UAV with three views is given. The proposed UAV has three flight modes: helicopter mode, transitional mode and fixed-wing mode. Then, to guarantee that the overall design meets the system specifications, the Digital DATCOM program is utilized to calculate both the stability and control derivatives of the UAV under fixed-wing mode. Finally, numerical simulation results are given to demonstrate the changes of the stability and control derivatives with respect to different cruise speeds and angle of attacks.
