Multi-rotor Platforms

SoarApex Multi-rotor Platforms unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an unmanned aerial vehicle with three or more rotor axes, which controls its flight attitude by adjusting the speed of different rotors. Its biggest feature is the ability to take off and land vertically and hover in the air. This type of drone has a simple structure and low operating threshold, and is currently the most common type of drone on the market. It is widely used in fields such as aerial photography, agricultural crop protection, and power inspection.

Why Choose multi-rotor platforms?

What is a multi-rotor platforms UAV drone?

• Multi rotor unmanned aerial vehicles rely on multiple propellers working together to generate lift, without the need for taxiing and takeoff like airplanes or complex mechanical variable pitch structures like helicopters. ‌‌‌
• Structural composition: It mainly consists of a frame, motor, propeller, battery, and flight control system. Common layouts include four axis, six axis, eight axis, etc. The number of rotors is usually even to ensure torque balance.
• Flight principle: By changing the speed of each motor to adjust lift and torque, it can achieve ascent, descent, forward, backward, left, right movement, and rotation. Some advanced aircraft models support blade breakage protection, allowing for safe return even if individual motors fail.
• Technical parameters: The common wheelbase is between 1000 millimeters and 2000 millimeters, the no-load endurance time is usually 30 to 60 minutes, the maximum wind resistance can reach level 7, and some industrial grade models can carry a load of over 40 kilograms.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of multi-rotor platform UAVs?

The reason why multi rotor drones are popular is that they are very useful in specific scenarios, but there are also obvious physical limitations. ‌‌‌

Main advantages:

• Easy to operate: With simple training, you can get started, and the flight control system can automatically maintain stable posture.
• Strong environmental adaptability: capable of vertical takeoff and landing in complex terrains such as cities and mountainous areas, without the need for specialized runways.
• Good hovering performance: It can stay at a certain point in the air for a long time, which is very suitable for shooting or fine inspection. ‌‌‌

Main disadvantages:

• Shorter endurance: Most battery powered multi rotor drones have a flight time of less than 1 hour, which is not as long-lasting as fixed wing drones.
• Speed limited: Cruise speed is usually between 10 and 23 meters per second, which is not suitable for long-distance fast transportation.
• Weak wind resistance: When encountering strong winds of 5-6 levels or above, flight stability will decrease and there is a risk of flight restrictions.

What is the difference between fixed wing drones and unmanned aerial vehicles?

Many people easily confuse multi rotor and fixed wing, but in fact, they are like the difference between “helicopter” and “airplane”, with completely different applicable scenarios. ‌‌‌

• Takeoff and landing methods: Multi rotor aircraft can take off and land vertically in place, while fixed wing aircraft require runway or catapult takeoff and cannot hover in the air.
• Flight efficiency: The fixed wing relies on the wing to generate lift, and the range can reach several hours or even longer, suitable for large-scale mapping; Multi rotor relies on electric motors to resist gravity, consumes power quickly, and is suitable for small-scale operations.
• Application focus: Multi rotor is commonly used for aerial photography, short distance inspections, and indoor operations; Fixed wings are more commonly used for long endurance missions such as land surveys and border patrols. ‌‌‌
