And categorizing drone types based on their number of propellers is just one way to organize drones.</p> <p>Here are the three ways drones are typically categorized:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Rotor configuration</strong>. From multi-rotors to fixed wings and beyond, this category organizes drones based on the number of propellers they have, and how they’re configured.</li> <li><strong>Size</strong>. From nano drones small enough to fit in your hand to large industrial drones built for heavy lifting and extended missions, this category organizes drones based on how big they are and what their size allows them to do.</li> <li><strong>Use case</strong>. From drones made to shoot high-end movies to drones made just for inspectors, this category organizes drones based on the types of work they’re made to do.</li> </ul> <p>Looking for specific information on drone types? Here’s a menu of everything we cover in this guide:</p> <ul> <li><a href="#1">Comprehensive Drone Types Chart</a></li> <li><a href="#2">Drone Types with Pictures</a></li> <li><a href="#3">Drone Type

of the three different ways to categorize drones that we covered above.</p> <p>Each section in the chart below includes examples of drones, their typical applications, and key features to help you

Consumer drones can cost between $50 and $1,500, professional drones range from $1,500 to $50,000, and specialized drones can exceed $100,000.</p> <h3>How do I choose the right drone type for my needs?</h3> <p>Choosing the right drone depends on your intended use, budget, and required features. For example, photography enthusiasts should prioritize drones with high-resolution cameras, while industrial users might need drones with advanced sensors or payload capacity.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4790914 elementor-align-left post-cat elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-info" data-id="4790914" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="post-info.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <ul class="elementor-inline-items elementor-icon-list-items elementor-post-info"> <li class="elementor-icon-list-item elementor-repeater-item-6d39462 elementor-inline-item" itemprop="about"> <span class="elementor-icon-list-text elementor-post-info__item elementor-post-info__item--type-terms"> <span class="elementor-post-info__item-prefix">FILED UNDER: </span> <span class="elementor-post-info__terms-list"> <a href="https://www.dronepilotgroundschool.com/category/drone-operations-software/" class="elementor-post-info__terms-list-item">Drone Operations & Software</a> </span> </span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-90d0e6f elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider" data-id="90d0e6f" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="divider.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-divider"> <span class="elementor-divider-separator"> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div data-elementor-type="footer" data-elementor-id="11903" class="elementor elementor-11903 elementor-location-footer" data-elementor-post-type="elementor_library"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-5019bef e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent" data-id="5019bef" data-element_type="container" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"> <div class="e-con-inner"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-f32b1db e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child" data-id="f32b1db" data-element_type="container"> <div class="e-con-inner"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-b68a48d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="b68a48d" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-9d6504b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="9d6504b" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Managed by UAV Coach</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-193b2cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="193b2cc" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>More than 65,000+ students trust Drone Pilot Ground School, a training program managed by <a href="https://uavcoach.com/">UAV Coach</a>, the largest and most reputable online-based drone training academy in the sUAS industry.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-d2e7408 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="d2e7408" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">100% Secure Payment</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-09d5810 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="09d5810" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <img loading="lazy" width="300" height="53" data-src="https://149357839.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Visa-MasterCard-American-Express-PayPal.jpg" class="attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-126 lazyload" alt="" data-srcset="https://149357839.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Visa-MasterCard-American-Express-PayPal.jpg 300w , https://149357839.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Visa-MasterCard-American-Express-PayPal-50x9.jpg 50w" data-sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 300px;
