types of drones
multi-rotor, fixed wing, single rotor helicopter fixed wing hybrid VTOL
Multi Rotor Pros
Accessibility, ease to use, VTOL and hover flight, good camera control, can operate in a confined area.
Multi Rotor cons
short flight time,small payload capacity.
Typical uses
Aerial photography and video aerial inspection
Fixed wing pros
large aera coverage,long endurance, fast flight speed.
fixed wing cons
launch recovery needs a lot of space, no VTOL/hover, harder to fly, more tranining needed, expensive
aerial mapping, pipeline and power line inspection.
Single Rotor
VTOL and hover flight, long endurance(with gas power) heavier payload capacity.
more dangerous, harder to fly more training needed,expensive, aerial LIDER laser scanning.
