S2E22 - Multirotor or Fixed-Wing? Pick Wrong and Your Mission Could Fail

In Season 2, Episode 22 of Sky Commander Academy, we break down one of the first — and most important — choices every professional RPAS operator faces: Multirotor vs. Fixed-Wing. As an Advanced RPAS pilot, choosing the right platform isn’t about preference — it’s about matching aircraft capabilities to mission requirements, terrain, and client expectations.

This episode helps you understand the strengths, limitations, and operational use cases for both types of RPAS — so you can select the right tool for the job.

You’ll learn:

• The fundamental design and performance differences between Multirotor and Fixed-Wing drones

• How each platform excels — and where it struggles — in different mission types

• Key factors to consider: flight endurance, range, payload capacity, launch/recovery space, and maneuverability

• Real-world examples of Multirotor and Fixed-Wing success (and failure) in Canadian RPAS operations

• How to align your Advanced RPAS Certification prep with the strengths of your chosen platform

Whether you're building your drone fleet or simply aiming to fly smarter, this episode helps you make mission-driven decisions that maximize both safety and results.
