How Big Are Drones

Drones are available in different categories? Each category comes with different sizes, weights and designs. Drones are designed to perform various tasks. Drones play an important part in big industries like agriculture and construction. Accordingly, every industry has to perform different jobs, so drone sizes may vary. But most common question is How Big are Drones In Size

Now let’s talk about the sizes of Drones

Drone Type	Weight	Size
Commercial Drones	199 Grams	130-150mm
Survey Drones	18-20kg	100-120cm
Miltiray Drones	140-600kg	8m (26ft)

Nano Drones

Nano drones are specially designed to fit into very small spaces. Additionally drones are so small in size that they are used to spy on people. Nano drones could be as little as the size of an insect. Above all that’s why these drones can easily pass through very small spaces, but the battery is the only issue with nano drones. Someone who is controlling these drones should be close to them.

Commercial Drones

Bird views or aerial videos are shoots with the help of commercial drones. These drones are equid with high-resolution cameras, which help you to capture bird-view scenes.

Commercial drones are not too big, and you can easily travel with them. UAVs are widely used in the film industry. Commercial drones are commonly used for delivering packages as well.

Survey Drones

Survey drones are designed to perform specific tasks. Every industry has UAVs according to their needs. Like agriculture industry need drones for spray and other tasks, but the construction industry needs drones that can fly high. 

Survey drones are big in size. 18-20kg is the average weight of survey drones. These drones are 120cm long.

Military Drones

Military drones are very large in size and usually match the size of aircraft. UAVs are usually 8m (26 ft) long. These drones are used in war zones where they are equipped with heavy payloads. Cameras installed in military drones are very powerful and can capture high-resolution images from far locations.

The army only uses military drones for special tasks, so they ensure that they contain the latest technology.

Types of Drones Based On An Aerial Platform

As you know, drones are available in different sizes. Drones are further categorized as aerial platform means how they perform in the air.

• Fixed Wing
• Fixed-Wing Hybrid VTOL
• Multi-Rotor
• Single Rotor

Fixed Wing

Fixed-wing drones are designed like airplanes. So these drones cannot maintain a stationary position in the air. Fixed wings drones are always in motion and perform their flight like airplanes.

Multi-Rotor

These drones are designed with multi motors, which helps them to maintain a stationary position in the air for a long time. Multi-rotor drones are widely used for aerial videography because they can sustain a stable position in the air for a long time.

Single Rotor

Single rotor drone designs include one single rotor used to fly the drone and one small rotor on the tail, which help to indicate the drone’s direction. As a result single-rotor drones are better than multi-rotor drones as they have some superior features. These drones can fly in a linear path, even higher than multi-rotor drones. These can maintain a stationary position as well

Fixed-Wing Hybrid VTOL

Hybrid VTOL drones have both qualities of fixed wind and rotor drones. The rotor is attached to their fixed wings which allows them to hover in the air for a long time. These drones can take off and land vertically on the ground.
