The author studies a class of unitals (\(2\)-\((n^3+1,n+1,1)\)-designs) which can be obtained by coning the Tits ovoid using Buekenhout's parabolic method. Such unitals are called Buekenhout-Tits unitals. The corresponding design questions are very similar for those for the Buekenhout-Metz unitals. However, the computation (Theorem 4 and its Corollary) of the full collineation group stabilizing a Buekenhout-Tits unital shows significant difference between these two classes of designs. Several open problems are formulated.
