Their capacity to expeditiously and effectively cover large tracts of land has resulted in their widespread adoption as a valuable forest management and monitoring tool. The versatility of UAVs extends to their capability to perform quick and efficient surveys of large areas, inventory of tree species, and monitoring of forest health. This research paper reports on the successful utilization of VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) UAV that was designed and built at the IESSD (Institute of Earth Science and Sustainable Development) located in the AAA (Asia Aviation Academy) at KMITL (King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang) Prince of Chumphon Campus, Thailand. The VTOL UAV is employed for resource and environmental missions, as well as forest monitoring by using remote sensing technology. VTOL UAVs are used for aerial surveillance to conduct air photography, data collection, and processing for resource and environmental missions. This research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the areas at risk of deforestation and forest encroachment in a particular region of Khao Yai National Park in Thailand, highlighting the potential for the resulting photographs to inform evidence-based decision-making and facilitate sustainable forest management practices. This study offers recommendations to develop VTOL UAVs remote sensing capabilities and mitigate deforestation and forest encroachment in Khao Yai National Park.展开更多

The most widespread use of the commercial drones is a multi-copter form of unmanned aerial vehicle, because of its vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability. However, due to the structural characteristics, it has a disadvantage that the flight time is quite short, which is typically ranging between 15 to 30 minutes. The fixed wing type of unmanned aerial vehicles has a longer flight time and duration, but it is not easy to secure a safe landing space, especially in the city areas. For this reason, demand for vertical fixed take-off and landing aircraft is rapidly increasing throughout the world. This study analyzes the trends and recent development of global VTOL technology and provides a direction into which the current state of the technology should be heading. By comparing the advantage and disadvantage of various VTOP propulsion types, we can clearly identify the most effective form of VTOL propulsion types. Such analysis will be highly beneficial to the drone researchers and scientists in terms of future development.展开更多
