There are three major developments in drone technology – Miniaturization, Autonomy, and Swarms. 1. Miniaturization The first development, miniaturization, is the most incremental development. As in most areas of robotics, each new generation of drones is a bit smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the previous generation. For instance, new materials and lighter and more efficient…
Here is the necessary technical information about the drone and its supporting systems. I have extracted this information to make you understand all the technical aspects of Drone (UAS). Basically, this is guidance by EASA for the collection and presentation of technical relevant information, and this information needs to be sufficient to address the required…
Rules and safety tips always help you fly a drone safely. To get started, be sure to select the type of drone and also find what rules and regulations are applicable to your specific situation. Know where it is safe to fly and when you need the approval to fly. The Regulations use the term…
An initial aeronautical knowledge test and recurrent training cover the following areas of knowledge: Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges, limitations, and flight operation; Airspace classification, operating requirements, and flight restrictions affecting small unmanned aircraft operation; Aviation weather sources and effects of weather on small unmanned aircraft performance; Small unmanned aircraft…
A drone is a type of aircraft. To understand how drones fly, you need to understand the physics and basics of how an aircraft flies. Four Forces of Flight An aircraft flies because of four forces, and these four forces are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift – Lift is the force that holds an…
What is Drone A drone is known as an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The Regulations use the term UAS, unmanned aircraft system, to refer to a drone. A drone is basically any aircraft flying in the sky without a pilot, whether it be flying autonomously or with remote control on…
