Multirotor type unmanned aerial vehicles exist in numerous configurations including duocopter, [5] tricopter, quadcopter, hexacopter and octocopter. All of them can be upgraded to coaxial configuration in order to bring more stability and flight time while allowing carrying much more payload without gaining too much weight.
