Defence education
VTOL long-endurance surveillance
Lift rotors support vertical flight; the wing supports the represented cruise phase.
What to keep in mind
Cannot rank real systems from this generic model.
A useful distinction
Endurance depends on the whole system and mission.
Key terms
- VTOL
- Vertical take-off and landing; a flight capability rather than one airframe shape.
- wing borne
- Flight supported primarily by the aerodynamic lift of wings.
