They're capable of stable flight in much higher winds than comparably sized multicopters, they're more efficient at high speeds, and they fold up quickly for easier transport than most multirotors.

A new study found that using piloted multicopters in air rescue operations is feasible and could improve emergency medical services, especially in hard to reach places. The study, Multicopter in the ...

Not since last year's TacoCopter fiasco has there been such a vague and ominous potential use for multicopters to hit the web. Last week, the golf company Titleist tweeted a photo of a rather ...

Because fixed-wing drones are faster and more energy-efficient than multicopters, they're often used for tasks such as mapping areas of the ocean. Many of them do require landing strips, however, ...

Designs for eVTOL aircraft may be converging in the direction of efficient, wing-borne lift + cruise and vectored thrust concepts. Is there room for inefficient multicopter concepts in transport ...

Multicopter FPV drones look like the kings of the jungle in Ukraine, hitting tanks, trucks, artillery and infantry with lethal results. But fixed wing FPVs resembling small aircraft are having an ...
