Hunter's comment

The Cormorant is a compact, unmanned, single-engine, Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. Internal lift rotors enable the aircraft to fly inside obstructed (mountainous, wooded, urban) terrain where helicopters are unable to operate.

This aircraft is innovative due to its internal rotors and significant payload capacity that allows for the evacuation of two casualties as well as fast and flexible payload reconfiguration for other missions. It is also ideally suited to a special robotic operation, for example via Tele Presence.
