This paper looks into conceptualization, implementation and validation of the potential role that hybrid quad tilt rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) may undertake in the near future, especially so in military applications. A tilt rotor is designed, built and analyzed with wind tunnel data, theoretical calculations and flight log data. In addition, the paper will discuss the flight mechanics involved during its transition from hover to forward flight. As the tandem wing tilt rotor encompasses two unconventional designs, numerous mathematical models were developed in the design of the UAV.
