Classification of medium UAVs

[edit]

There's an oddity in the difference between "small" and "medium" UAVs in the table in the article. Small are defined as <2m and medium as >5m. Are there NO drones in the middle?

Looking at the citation, it appears that the classification is done by weight rather than size. So should the article reflect this? The quote is:

"The medium UAV class applies to UAVs that are too heavy to be carried by one person but are still smaller than a light aircraft. They usually have a wingspan of about 5-10 m and can carry payloads of 100 to 200 kg."

"Drone"

[edit]

No. We don't need to refer to a bee in an article about UAVs. Ndunruh (talk) 15:11, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
