Why are you flying the drones though? Just give them wheels and call them robots.
Costs less, is easier to operate, uses less energy, less sensitive parts exposed, can be used in smaller spaces, easier to recover...
Or you could read the article. Wheels ain't gonna work down there bro.
There is no mention why wheels wouldnt work.
They only mention that flying is difficult because of confined space and changing airflows.
