Popular Multirotor Airframes

Multirotors are rated variously by the number of propellers, the size of the propellers (which is flexible with a kit), and the distance between opposite motor shafts (m2m distance). This last measure will be used here, and when in doubt, will be defined by 2 * the average distance from the rotor shafts to the centroid of all rotor shafts.

While individual copter prop loading varies significantly, in general anything under 300mm motor to motor distance is considered too small for anything but toy/recreational/training use, and the professionalized heavy lift category characterized by a non-battery payload 1KG and up, tends to be 800mm and larger. These are completely arbitrary divisions.
