A hexacopter is a type of drone that is equipped with six rotors, allowing it to achieve stable flight and carry heavier payloads compared to quadcopters, which have four rotors. The additional rotors provide better lift and redundancy, meaning if one rotor fails, the hexacopter can still operate safely. Hexacopters are commonly used in various applications, including aerial photography, surveying, and search and rescue missions. Their ability to hover and maneuver in tight spaces makes them valuable tools for professionals in fields such as film production and agriculture.
