Summary:Systems, devices, and methods for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicle (800) having a first GPS antenna (810) and a second GPS antenna (816), where the second GPS antenna is disposeddistal from the first GPS antenna; and an aerial vehicle flight controller (550), where the flight controller is configured to: utilize a GPS antenna signal via the GPS antenna switch from the first GPS antenna or the second GPS antenna; receive a pitch level of the aerial vehicle from the one or more aerial vehicle sensors in vertical flight or horizontal flight; determine if the received pitch level is at a set rotation from vertical or horizontal; and utilize the GPS signal not being utilized via the GPS antenna switch if the determined pitch level is at or above the set rotation. 用于垂直起降(VTOL)飞行器(800)的系统、设备和方法，具有第一GPS天线(810)和第二GPS天线(816)，其中第二GPS天线远离第一GPS天线设置；以及飞行器飞行控制器(550)，其中飞行控制器被配置成：经由GPS天线开关利用来自第一GPS天线或第二GPS天线的GPS天线信号；在垂直飞行或水平飞行中从一个或更多个飞行器传感器接收飞行器的俯仰水平；确定所接收的俯仰水平是否处于从垂直方向或水平方向的设定旋转；并且如果所确定的俯仰水平处于或高于该设定旋转，则经
