In drone delivery, fixed-wing drones, multicopters (quadcopters), and Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) drones each present unique advantages and limitations. While fixed-wing drones excel in distance, quadcopters are known for agility, and VTOL drones like the Eiger combine the best of both for a balanced, versatile solution. This guide will help clarify the distinctions and potential applications for each type, especially in the context of delivery.

In the realm of aviation and drone technology, acronyms are more than just shorthand; they’re the language of the skies….
In the rapidly evolving world of drone delivery operations, understanding key acronyms is essential for grasping the latest advancements. One of the most significant breakthroughs is VTOL, or “Vertical Take-Off and Landing,” a technology that has transformed the capabilities of drones. VTOL enables fixed-wing drones, typically constrained by the need for long runways, to ascend and descend vertically like helicopters. This innovation eliminates runway dependency, allowing for operations in space-restricted environments.
