An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot onboard. UAVs are controlled remotely by a pilot or autonomously by onboard computers.
UAVs have a wide range of applications across various industries. They are used for aerial photography, crop monitoring in agriculture, search and rescue operations, infrastructure inspection, and even in military operations.
There are several types of UAVs based on their size, range, and functionality. These include fixed-wing UAVs, rotary-wing UAVs (such as quadcopters), and hybrid UAVs that combine features of both.
Operating UAVs comes with responsibilities. It's important to be aware of regulations set by aviation authorities regarding where and how UAVs can be flown. Safety measures such as avoiding manned aircraft, flying within line of sight, and respecting people's privacy are crucial.
