Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Electric UAVs 2014 - 2024, Global Industry Analysis
Electric power makes possible the use of wheel power for take-off because electric motors can give maximum torque from stationary. It gives us near silent operation, in the air and on the ground, with virtually no noise or gaseous emissions, something valued in both military and civil applications. For long range UAVs where batteries are inadequate and hybrid powertrains are necessary, there can still be silent take-off and landing.
