They don’t need a long runway and can switch from flying straight up to flying horizontally. These drones have a really big advantage of being able to take off and land vertically without needing a runway. Limited Payload Capability There is a lot of hardware that goes into a VTOL drone, which tends to make them bulky and heavy.

It wasnt until I started flying professionally that I needed to balance realistic fuel planning with payload and just a dash of bargain hunting. Obviously, the number one priority when preflight planning is a safe fuel load, but being able to extract a useful payload out of the aircraft is part of why we play the game.
