WHAT IS IT?
A fixed-wing drone, also known as a fixed-wing unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) is a type of drone or remotely piloted
aircraft that features fixed wings, similar to traditional airplanes.
Unlike multirotor drones, which use multiple spinning rotors to achieve lift and
maneuverability, fixed-wing drones rely on their
aerodynamic design to generate lift and maintain flight.
