CONT

Les drones à voilure rotative sont généralement plus petits que les appareils à voilure fixe [...] et leur portée et leur capacité de transport d'équipement sont plus faibles [...]

OBS

Ces véhicules génèrent leur force de portance à partir des hélices (pales) rotatives attachées aux moteurs [...] Le terme «à voilure tournante» vient du fait que les pales peuvent être considérées comme des ailes en rotation autour d'un axe.
