2. ArduPilot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardupilot

   The free software approach to ArduPilot code development is similar to that of the Linux Operating system and the GNU Project, and the PX4/Pixhawk and Paparazzi Project, where low cost and availability enabled hobbyists to build autonomous small remotely piloted aircraft, such as micro air vehicles and miniature UAVs. The drone industry ...

6. List of VTOL aircraft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VTOL_aircraft

   This is a list of fixed-wing aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing arranged under manufacturer. The list excludes helicopters, including compound helicopters and gyrocopters, because they are assumed to have this capability. For more detail on subtypes of VTOL, see List of tiltrotor aircraft

7. Assisted take-off - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_take-off

   In aviation, assisted takeoff is any system for helping aircraft to get into the air (as opposed to strictly under its own power). The reason it might be needed is due to the aircraft's weight exceeding the normal maximum takeoff weight , insufficient power, insufficient available runway length, or a combination of all three factors.
