Helicopter style drones have limited endurance and speed, making them unsuitable for large scale aerial mapping, long-endurance monitoring and long-distance inspection such as pipelines, roads and power lines.

They are fundamentally very inefficient and require a lot of energy just to fight gravity and keep them in the air.
