XPlusOne
The XPlusOne Quadcopter is susceptible to wind-induced damage. The XPlusOne was designed to fly in plane mode unlike many quadcopters. It steers using differential thrust from its four propellers, instead of using control surfaces. This allows the drone to have a high angle-of-attack, meaning it is always close to stall. Wind can also alter the angle of attack making it more difficult to keep the drone in flight.
Opterra
The Opterra fixed wing drone is one of the top of the line models. It boasts a range that can reach up to three miles and flight times of 30 minutes.
