The present invention relates to a multipurpose and long endurance Hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HUAV) with the combined functions of a Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) and a fixed wing operation. The HUAV may take-off and land vertically on both land and water, and perform a mid-air transition from a VTOL mode to a fixed wing mode. The HUAV includes an airframe, a fixed wing unit having at least one forward thrust motor, one or more VTOL units mounted on a tail boom, and a fuselage of the airframe. Each of the one or more VTOL units includes at least one VTOL motor, and a control unit configured to control on-board transition of the HUAV between the VTOL mode and the fixed wing mode by controlling at least one forward thrust motor and at least one VTOL motor.
