# Vehicle Types & Setup

PX4 supports numerous types of vehicles, including different configurations of multicopters, planes, VTOL vehicles, ground vehicles, and so on.

This section explains how to assemble, configure, and tune PX4-based autopilot systems for each type (much of this setup is common to all types).

:::note [Vehicle Selection](/px4-user-guide/getting_started/frame_selection.md) provides high level information about the types of vehicles and the use cases for which they are best suited. :::

## Supported Vehicles

The frame types that have a maintainer and are well tested and supported are:

* [Multicopters](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_multicopter.md) (tri-, quad-, hexa-, octa-, and even [omnicopter](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_multicopter/omnicopter.md) vehicles)
* [Planes (Fixed Wing)](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_plane.md)
* [VTOL](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_vtol.md): [Standard VTOL](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_vtol/standardvtol.md), [Tailsitter VTOL](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_vtol/tailsitter.md), [Tiltrotor VTOL](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_vtol/tiltrotor.md)

## Experimental Vehicles

The following vehicle types are considered experimental:

* [Airships](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_airship.md)
* [Autogyros](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_autogyro.md)
* [Balloons](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_balloon.md)
* [Helicopter](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_helicopter.md)
* [Rovers](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_rover.md)
* [Submarines](/px4-user-guide/airframes/frames_sub.md)

:::note Experimental frames are those vehicle types that:

* Do not have a maintainer.
* Are not regularly tested by the core development team.
* May lack features required for production-ready vehicles.
* May not support some common vehicle configurations for the vehicle type.

Maintainer volunteers, [contribution](/px4-user-guide/contribute.md) of new features, new frame configurations, or other improvements would all be very welcome! :::

## Other Vehicles

The complete set of supported vehicle types and their configurations can be found in the [Airframes Reference](/px4-user-guide/airframes/airframe_reference.md).
