Drones have become indispensable for everything from deliveries to inspections and emergency responses. Traditionally, we’ve had to choose between two designs: rotary-wing drones, which offer excellent manoeuvrability but burn through energy quickly, and fixed-wing models that are energy-efficient yet less agile in tight or unpredictable environments. Now, engineers at the University of Surrey are looking […]
