These are mainly used for professional purposes and model building. The advantage is that a larger area can be covered. Well-known brands in this category include eBee, Delair, Wingtra, and Atmos UAV.   <\/li>\n<li>Conventional Fuselage Designs: These are RPAS with a tail and a fin. Recognizable by a slightly larger wingspan and therefore a higher payload capacity. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Helicopter-type drones: these utilize rotating propellers or props\n<ul>\n<li>Single-rotor and coaxial rotor: these are aircraft with only one axis, featuring a single rotor or two counter-rotating rotors.<\/li>\n<li>Multirotor: These are aircraft with three or more rotors on different axes. Some well-known brands in this category include Parrot, DJI, and Yuneec. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Other: Aircraft such as zeppelins also fall into this category.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For measurements and inspections, we primarily use multirotor drones with 4 to 8 motors.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1577 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/topo4d.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/DSC09604-300x200-1.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" data-wp-editing=\"1\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9004\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-9004\" class=\"wp-caption-text\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Atmos UAV VTOL Drone Marlyn<br\/><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">A Fixed Wing drone from manufacturer Atmos UAV with vertical take-off and landing functionality.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Advantages and disadvantages<\/h2>\n<p>Some advantages of multirotor drones are that they can take off and land vertically, are versatile in use, and can hover. However, there are exceptions. <\/p>\n<p>Compared to fixed-wing aircraft, they are less stable and more sensitive to wind and vibrations. However, aircraft are now available with precise IMU sensors that address this quite effectively. <\/p>\n<p>Multirotor drones can be powered in various ways. We see aircraft that operate on a battery or on gasoline. For surveying applications such as volume calculations, we find that a battery is always used because of its stability.<br\/>Additionally, there are options to connect the aircraft with a cable; this allows it to stay in the air longer, but the aircraft&#8217;s movement is limited. This solution is almost exclusively used for security purposes.   <\/p>\n<p>Multirotors with a battery can generally stay in the air for a maximum of about 45 minutes, depending on weather conditions, temperature, and wind.<\/p>\n<p>With some fixed-wing aircraft, this duration is significantly longer, which is certainly an advantage for specific applications.<\/p>\n<p>Questions regarding drone
