Claim 1
A remote controlled aircraft, for surveillance and inspection, comprising observation and/or detection means, a propeller with a vertical axis rotating inside anapproximately cylidrical fairing and an engine powering the propeller, characterized in that the centre of gravity of the aircraft is located below its geometrical centre such that upon landing the aircraft will take a stable position and be prepared fortakeoff, and in that the assembly comprising the detection and/or observation means, the engine and the propeller is surrounding by an approximately spherical open-worked cage that is integral with the fairing.
