The Types of Drones

For drones, I think everyone is familiar with it. Now there are many drone enthusiasts emerging. Sometimes you can see drone enthusiasts manipulating drones for aerial photography outdoors. Now let's take you to know about drones and introduce you to the types of drones.

According to the types of UAVs, they are divided into fixed-wing UAVs, helicopter UAVs, flapping-wing UAVs and multi-rotor UAVs.

Fixed-wing UAV: The fixed wing, as the name implies, is that the wing is fixed and provides lift by the wind flowing through the wing. Like the plane we usually make, Carter fixed-wing UAV needs to run up when taking off and taxiing when landing, but this kind of UAV has long battery life, high flight efficiency and large load.

Helicopter UAV: Generally, this kind of UAV relies on one or two main rotors to provide lift. If there is only one main rotor, there must be a small tail to counteract the spin force generated by the main rotor. The advantages are that it can take off and land vertically, the battery life is moderate, and the load is moderate, but the structure is relatively complicated and the control is difficult.

Flapping-wing UAV: This kind of UAV is inspired by birds or insects and has small deformable wings. It can take advantage of the aerodynamics of unstable airflow and replace the motor with a muscle-like driver. On the battlefield, micro drones, especially insect drones, are not easy to attract the attention of the enemy. This kind of aircraft is inspired by birds or insects and has small deformable wings.

On the battlefield, micro drones, especially insect drones, are not easy to attract the attention of the enemy. Even in peacetime, micro UAV is an effective tool to detect nuclear and biochemical pollution, search for disaster survivors and monitor criminal gangs.

Multi-rotor UAV: a flight platform composed of multiple power systems, generally including four rotors, six rotors, eight rotors and even more rotors. The mechanical structure of multi-rotor is very simple, and the power system only needs the motor to directly connect the oars. Advantages are simple machinery, vertical take-off and landing, disadvantages are the shortest battery life and small load.
