Here are some common alternative names for drones:

Quadcopter: The most popular name for Small UAVs, which has 4 rotors positioned on a horizontal plane like a helicopter. Alternate names include Quadricopter and Quadrocopter.

Multicopter: A generic name for a drone with multiple propellers (includes quadcopters, octocopters, etc.).

Hexicopter: A multi-rotor aircraft having six rotors. The advantage of the hexicopter is that it can lose any single engine and still maintain control to land.

Octocopter: Has eight blades.

To help you describe damage, here are some common names for drone parts:

Body Set/Shell – The protective covering that surrounds the drone’s innards.
Controller – The device which directs the drone.

CW and CCW – Often the motors and propellers of a drone need to be specific to the direction the motors are turning. CW stands for clockwise, and CCW stands for counterclockwise. During assembly, or if you need to replace a part, you need to be aware of this distinction.

ESC – Electronic Speed Controller.

Gimbal – A gimbal is the mount on which a drone’s camera sits, usually allowing the camera to move along multiple axes by remote control. This offers a wider range of angles for the aerial photographer or videographer.

Landing Gear – Landing gear comes in various sizes (tall/short), and is the undercarriage of an aircraft, including the wheels or pontoons on which it rests while not in the air.

LiPo Battery – A Lithium Polymer Battery powers the drone. Specs list flying time (how long the battery will last) without added equipment such as a gimbal and camera, so if your drone has attachments, expect the battery life to be a little shorter.

Prop Guard – fits around the propellers to protect them if the drone bumps into something.

Throttle – A throttle controls the speed of the motors.

Worm Servo – Connects the drone to the landing gear
