An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, includes a fuselage, left and right airfoil-shaped wings connected to the fuselage to generate lift in forward flight, a left thrust-generating device supported by the left wing, and a right thrust-generating device supported by the right wing. The 5 UAV further includes a vertical stabilizer, a top thrust-generating device mounted to a top portion of the vertical stabilizer, and a bottom thrust-generating device mounted to a bottom portion of the vertical stabilizer. An onboard power source is provided for powering the thrust-generating devices. The left, right, top and bottom thrust-generating devices provide forward thrust during forward flight and also provide vertical thrust to enable the unmanned aerial vehicle to take-off 0 and land vertically when the fuselage is substantially vertical and further enabling the unmanned aerial vehicle to transition between forward flight and vertical take-off and landing. cy' a
