Hornet looks yet another standard copter-wing hybrid drone. But this drone will be flown by a set of novel control transition algorithms designed to minimize energy consumption during flight transition between copter mode and fixed-wing mode while maintaining flying qualities. Energy optimization helps prolong flight endurance.
