The primary advantage of rotary wing drones is that these vehicles have the ability to VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing), thereby requiring smaller takeoff and landing area. Another ability of rotary wing drones to hover around and execute agile maneuvering eases the rotary wing drones to attract customers from several industries. The rotary wing drones are majorly deployed for applications such as precision inspection as these drones have the ability to hover in a particular region and inspect a single target for a more extended period. These capabilities have impressed the end-user industries, which has reflected the adoption rate in the drone service market.
