All [vehicle models](../sim_gazebo_gz/vehicles.md) (and [worlds](#specify-world)) are included as a submodule from the [Gazebo Models Repository](../sim_gazebo_gz/gazebo_models.md) repository.

:::warning
The Advanced Lift Drag Plugin that is required to run the Advanced Plane is not yet part of the Gazebo distribution, so the Advanced Plane will not yet fly: [PX4-Autopilot#22337](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/issues/22337).

As a workaround to enable Advanced Plane, you can compile the gz-sim library from [Gazebo source code](https://github.com/gazebosim/gz-sim), go into the `build/lib` directory, copy out the advanced lift drag plugin `.so` file (depending on the exact Gazebo Version this is called something along the lines of `libgz-sim7-advanced-lift-drag-system.so`), and paste this into the `~/.gz/sim/plugins` folder.

### Quad Tailsitter VTOL

A VTOL tailsitter model that uses differential thrust for pitch, roll, and yaw control.

```sh
make px4_sitl gz_quadtailsitter
```

### Tiltrotor VTOL

A VTOL Plane, where during the transition the front two motors will tilt forward and be used for forward thrust.

```sh
make px4_sitl gz_tiltrotor
```
