quadcopter flyiing with extended range due to omnis cfd Drones have proven to be an efficient solution for a large range of applications within the military, industrial, and private consumer domains. In the past decade, their use has been soaring and their annual growth rate is anticipated to exceed 50%..

There are two main categories of aerial drones: rotorcraft capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOLs) and fixed-wing vehicles. Rotorcraft drones offer important advantages over the fixed-wing systems, such as their ability to hover (maintain a constant altitude) and the fact that they are easier to control and operate. This makes them particularly suitable for unique applications like indoors operations, maneuvering in wind turbines and construction site inspections to name a few.
