HOW HARD IS IT ? TO FLY A DRONE HARDER THAN YOU THINK

摘要

Drones, UAVs, unmanned aerial systems (UASs) or whatever else you call them are aircraft that don't have a pilot on board. The word unmanned is, however, somewhat of a misnomer. In many cases it takes a large crew to enable the flight of a drone. UAVs come in all kinds of shapes, sizes and configurations, from a hand-size helicopter or multicopter weighing less than 10 pounds and operated by a radio-controlled console to multimillion-dollar machines weighing thousands of pounds controlled by very complex systems. Drones have been used by the military for a long time, but they are now being transitioned into a variety of civilian roles.
