    How to choose the right drone model for your needs and application

            How to choose a drone model?There are many drone models, the main ones being multi-rotor drones, fixed-wing drones, vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing drones and helicopter drones.Different models have their own advantages and disadvantages, applicable to different scenarios and needs, about the choice of drone models, now follow the Nanjing Clairvoyant Aviation customer service to understand it.   Multi-rotor UAV           Advantages: low flight altitude, strong maneuverability, able to perform special tasks; small size, light weight, low noise, good concealment, suitable for multi-platform and multi-space use; simple structure, flexible control, low cost, good safety, easy disassembly and easy maintenance.          Disadvantages: short flight distance and endurance time, can't operate continuously for a long time.          Application scope: Because of its flexible flight characteristics and low-cost advantages, it is widely used in low-altitude aerial photography, indoor survey, remote small area inspection and other scenes.For example, in some indoor scenes, it is easy to enter and carry out the work of filming or testing; in the small area inspection, it can quickly take off and complete the task.     Fixed-wing UAV           Advantages: fast flight speed, can quickly reach the long-distance operation area; long flight distance, large cruising area, suitable for large-area operation; high flight altitude, can avoid the interference of some ground obstacles; can be set up to recover the coordinates of the point of automatic landing, can be automatically flown in accordance with the preset routes, and the operational efficiency is high.           Disadvantages: can only fly according to a fixed route, not flexible enough, can not hover to get a continuous image of a certain place, take-off and landing need runway, the scope of application is narrower.           Scope of application: meteorological monitoring, can carry meteorological detection equipment, for meteorological prediction, environmental monitoring and climate research, etc. to provide data support; in the disaster relief, can quickly reach the disaster site, monitoring and rescue materials transportation, etc., to reduce casualties and property losses; agricultural field can be used for farmland survey, crop fertilizer, reforestation, etc., to improve the efficiency and quality of agricultural production; photography and aerial photographyIn terms of photography and aerial photography, it can be used in film and television shooting, tourism shooting, urban planning and other fields.   Vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV           Advantages: combining the advantages of multi-rotor and fixed-wing, it can not only cruise at high speed but also take off and land vertically and hover, which solves the requirements of fixed-wing UAVs on the site for takeoff and landing; there are two flight modes: fixed-wing and rotor, and the rotary-wing system can automatically enter the self-rescue mode when a sudden failure occurs during the flight of the fixed-wing, which has a high level of safety; the flight time is long, the speed is fast, the distance is far away, the load is large, and it is practical; the vertical takeoff and landing method greatly reduces the requirements of the site and the airspace for takeoff and landing.Vertical take-off and landing greatly reduces the requirements of landing sites and airspace.           Disadvantages: Higher maintenance costs, part of the energy used for vertical takeoff and landing, resulting in reduced range, due to more propellers, the load will be reduced.           Scope of application: Mainly used in transportation supervision, oilfield pipeline inspection, large area mapping, forest inspection and other long endurance industries.For example, in traffic supervision, it can reach the monitoring area quickly and monitor the traffic condition in real time; in oil field and pipeline inspection, it can complete the long-distance inspection task and discover the potential problems in time.   Helicopter Drone           Advantages: large load of mission equipment, can fly at high speed for a long time and can hover, can also take off and land vertically, no runway, strong terrain adaptability; compared with the multi-rotor, the propeller diameter is larger, higher aerodynamic efficiency.           Disadvantages: limited flight time, limited by the battery capacity and the structure of the UAV, the flight time is shorter; flight altitude and distance is limited, generally can only be in the low altitude and close range flight; limited load capacity, can not carry heavy loads and equipment; poor adaptability to the flight environment, weather and airspace, flight safety is not as good as manned rotary wing aircraft; control requires a certain degree of technology and experience, the operator requirementsHigh, need to go through special training and examination.           Application scope: in filming and recording, it can be used for filming in many fields such as movie, TV, advertisement, tourism, etc., and can obtain unique aerial perspective picture; in the field of surveying and mapping and exploration, it can be used for engineering and environmental surveying and mapping, and measuring land area, building height, topography, etc., and it can be used for environmental survey, geological exploration, water conservancy survey, etc.; in the field of logistics and distribution, it can be used for the transportation of materials and goods, such asIn logistics and distribution, it can be used for the transportation of materials and goods, such as the distribution of livelihood materials, medical materials, emergency relief materials, etc.; in fire-fighting and rescue missions, it can quickly grasp the situation at the fire scene, assist rescue work and reduce casualties; in the field of agriculture and forestry, it can be used for the monitoring and application of medicine to crops, as well as for the monitoring and management of forestry resources.           Strategies for selecting UAV models, clear application requirements: Determining the main application area of the UAV is the key to selecting the model.If the application environment has no professional runway and requires frequent maneuvering flights, a multi-rotor UAV is a better choice; while for long-distance and wide-area operation tasks, a vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAV is more suitable.           Considering career development: Beginners are recommended to start with multi-rotor UAVs, which are a good choice for starting out because of their high maneuverability, short learning time, low cost, and easy to master flight skills.As technology improves and experience is gained, you can gradually advance to more complex models such as vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAVs.
