VTOL, which stands for Vertical Takeoff and Landing drones, are Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that can lift off and land vertically. Because their rotors can adjust direction and lift so quickly, multi-rotors are incredibly agile and responsive. JOUAV also offers several payload options for thermal imaging, surveying, and mapping.

Energy is always required for acceleration, to overcome air drag, as well as rolling and friction resistance of wheels on road and rail, and for “lifting work”, i.e., working against gravity. The mass to be moved (in kilograms, kg) plays a decisive role both in the energy required for acceleration and for the lifting work.
