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

## Experimental Vehicles

The following vehicle types are considered experimental:

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

:::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](https://px4.gitbook.io/px4-user-guide/contribute) 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](https://px4.gitbook.io/px4-user-guide/airframes/airframe_reference).
