Abstract: A vertical take-off and landing drone (100) for search and rescue, inspection of hard-to-reach areas, and aerial surveys by using retractable gimbal camera (102) integration into the vertical take-off and landing drone (100). Sensor array (104) comprising proximity sensor (104a), accelerometer sensor (104b), gyroscope sensor (104c), and weather sensor (104d) detects potential collisions, turbulence, abnormal tilt, harsh environments and trigger the retractable arm (106) attached with servo motor (108) to initiate retraction action of providing impact-resistant enclosure in central drone housing (110) for the gimbal camera (102) which extends only when needed. Power supply (112) provides energy to vertical take-off and landing drone (100) and ensures reliable functioning. AI algorithms provides for real-time decision- making. FIG. 1
