VTOL UAV Demonstration Pilot

Job ID: 40634400

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

I’m looking for a Part 107–certified pilot to take full command of a 25 kg fixed-wing VTOL UAV that will be shipped in from India for an upcoming international expo at the ISA site. Your background must include hands-on flying of VTOL platforms, conventional fixed-wing UAVs, and the planning and execution of fully autonomous missions—this mix is essential because the aircraft will fly a pre-programmed route in front of a live audience and VIP stakeholders.

Once the crate arrives on-site, you will:

• Unpack, assemble, and carry out deep bench and pre-flight checks
• Upload the pre-planned autonomous mission provided by our engineering team
• Oversee the entire flight, retaining manual override authority at all times and executing any fail-safe procedures if required

The demo is event-based, so the contract covers the period from intake and setup through final flight and post-flight reporting. A concise flight log and a brief debrief summary will close out the engagement.

If you hold the required certification and this blend of VTOL, fixed-wing, and autonomous know-how, I’d like to hear how you would ensure a flawless showcase.
