 A Hexa-copter is a multi-rotor aircraft that uses six motors and propellers, Hexa-copter is unlike a helicopter that rises on a single column of air, the Hexa-copter rises on sex columns of air making it more stable than other multi-rotors like tri-copter, quad-copter.





Directions of Rotor rotations: 
three rotors of six rotate clockwise and the other three rotate counter clockwise.




Advantages of the Hexa-copter:
1- small relative to Octo-opter.
2- More stability than other fewer multi-rotors like tri-copter and quad-copter.
3- Wind resistance.


Disadvantages of the Hexa-copter:
1- Poor efficiency.
2- Low maneuverability.
3- Complex mechanics.
