Based on Type, The US UAV (Drone) market is segmented into Fixed wing, rotary wing and hybrid wing. Rotary-wing drones, due to their VTOL capability, can function in a broader range of environments than fixed-wing drones, as they eliminate the requirement of any additional setup or space to facilitate their takeoff and landing. Moreover, the ability of these drones to hover over places makes them ideal for filmmaking, surveillance, and imaging applications. Rotary-wing drones are of two types, namely, single rotor or multirotor. The multirotor drones are further classified into biopters, tricopters, quadcopters, hexacopters, and octocopters. Multicopters, especially small ones, use batteries as power sources. This limits their flight endurance. While some multicopters can be equipped with fuel cells to enhance their flight times, their internal combustion engines are either too large or too insensitive for their operations, depending on the fast modifications in rotor speeds of multicopters.
