What are the characteristics of each UAS type?

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are categorized into three types: fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and hybrid. Fixed-wing UAS typically have a longer range and can remain in the air for a longer time without requiring frequent recharging. They are typically used for mapping large areas, monitoring wildlife, or conducting long-range reconnaissance missions. Rotary-wing UAS, on the other hand, are more maneuverable and are well-suited for tasks that require hovering or flying in tight spaces, such as inspections of infrastructure or conducting search and rescue operations. Hybrid UAS combines the advantages of both fixed-wing and rotary-wing UAS, allowing them to take off and land vertically and fly for longer periods of time. Hybrid UAS are often used for surveillance, delivery, and inspection tasks.
