  An all-electric unmanned aerial system with both VTOL and Fixed wing
capabilities is designed and optimized for long range surveillance and relief
operations. The UAV is equipped with onboard computers and sensors and is
capable of carrying 1kg of relief payload upto 100 Km. The entire low fidelity
design process -- from concept to render -- is carried out using completely
open source tools, libraries and in-house code. The challenges faced and
primary differences are discussed parallelly. A comparison with commercial
codes and programs is also done in some areas to give an overview of key
capabilities and caveats.
