Comparative Analysis of Rotary-Wing Drones, Fixed-Wing Drones and Compound-Wing Drones for Uavs

This article is mainly due to the rapid development of drones in today's society. It analyzes the characteristics and principles of the three existing types of drones for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), namely fixed - wing drones, compound drones, and rotary - wing drones. Then, based on their anti - interference ability, endurance, and reliability in performing tasks, it analyzes their suitable application scenarios. Through chart comparison, it is concluded that rotary - wing drones are suitable for low - altitude economy such as low - altitude reconnaissance, agricultural plant protection, and aerial photography; fixed - wing drones are suitable for surveying and mapping, long - distance inspection, logistics transportation, and long - range strikes; compound drones are suitable for scenarios that require vertical take - off and landing and long - endurance, such as border patrol, emergency rescue, transportation, or experiments. It also elaborates on the existing drone technologies and then makes expectations and predictions for the future development of drones. The whole article provides a reference for the future application scenarios of drones.
