[Abstract] The status quo of a research on a novel UAV (Un-manned Air Vehicle) transportation system is presented. Under a new concept for a short haul aerial transportation system, three-Dimensional Transportation Robots (3DTR) were constructed with twin turbojet engines equipped by high performance noise reduction system and a flexibly jointed delta wing controlled by 2-axis actuators. This vehicle is also suitable for aerial surveillance. The maiden flight was successfully conducted on November 22, 2005.
