hexacopter
Six-propeller flying machine
A hexacopter is an aircraft lifted by six rotors, typically a drone.
The prefix hexa- distinguishes it from quadcopters (four rotors) and octocopters (eight).
Hexacopters offer more stability and lifting capacity than quadcopters, making them popular for professional aerial photography and surveying: The film crew used a hexacopter for overhead shots.
