摘要

The present invention relates to an amphibian unmanned aerial vehicle (AUAV) (10) for testing and analyzing water quality on real-time basis. The said AUAV (10) comprising an all-terrain airframe (12), a hovercraft unit (04) comprising a hull (42) in contact with said airframe (12), a plurality of multicopter units (02) mounted on said hull (42), a plurality of payloads mounted on said airframe (12), a water sampling unit mounted on said airframe (12) and a control unit (08) to control flight conditions. The controller unit (08) has an avionic system to enable an on-board transition to multicopter mode or hovercraft mode by controlling the multicopter units (02) and the hovering unit (04).
