===== Why They'd Be Better on a Glider: ===== # Lift Efficiency from Wings: - A glider with a larger wingspan generates lift more efficiently than a multirotor drone because the wings can generate lift continuously during forward flight. This reduces the need for high-thrust propulsion, which is especially important for the lower-thrust 2S motors. - The glider's wings would provide a large portion of the required lift, meaning the motors would primarily be responsible for forward thrust, rather than carrying the entire weight of the craft as they would in a multirotor. # Lower Power Demand: - Unlike in a multirotor, where the motors need to lift the drone vertically, a fixed-wing airplane only requires enough power to maintain forward motion and counteract drag. - With a 2S setup, the motor power would be more than enough for cruising speeds, and the glider would benefit from longer flight times due to the efficiency of the wings. # Glider's Aerodynamics: - The glider's aerodynamic design and lighter structure allow it to fly with relatively low power, which is perfect for 2S motors. The motors will work in tandem with the glider's lift to keep the craft in the air and reduce the reliance on high-powered systems. # Efficient Battery Use: - On a glider, the energy consumption is spread out over time as the aircraft glides, which would make your 2S battery last longer compared to a multirotor, where the battery is under high load just to hover.
