Fixed-Wing vs Multirotor

Fixed-wing drones offer 1-6+ hour endurance, 50-500km range, and efficient cruise — ideal for large-area mapping, pipeline patrol, and border surveillance. They require runways or launchers and cannot hover. Multirotors offer VTOL and maneuverability but limited endurance (20-45 min). VTOL hybrids combine both.

VTOL Configurations

Tailsitters: simplest VTOL, rotate entire aircraft for forward flight (QuadPlane). Tilt-rotor: motors rotate from hover to cruise (complex, efficient). Lift + cruise: separate hover motors and pusher motor (heavier, most reliable). QuadPlane (ArduPilot/PX4) is the most common VTOL configuration.

Launch & Recovery

Hand launch for small (<3kg); bungee/rail launcher for 3-15kg; catapult for larger. Recovery: belly landing (grass/dirt), parachute (for expensive payloads), net (shipboard), or VTOL. Always plan landing zones in mission planning software.

Mission Planning

Fixed-wing survey missions use grid patterns at 80-150m AGL with 70% overlap. Cruise speed: 50-120 km/h depending on airframe. Calculate battery/fuel for: climb to altitude, survey grid, transit, and 30% reserve. Wind is the critical factor — always check forecasts and plan into-wind landings.
