When most people hear the phrase "drone," they undoubtedly immediately picture something, but what is it exactly?

Unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, are more commonly referred to as drones. This indicates that the thing in question is a flying machine that is not being driven by someone within the machine.

The size and design of these vehicles can vary.
Some of them might resemble an airplane, while others might resemble a helicopter or even multi-copters!

Then, either a person on the ground or a computer that has been designed to navigate on its own, controls these vehicles remotely!

Now that we have a grasp on what a drone is we can begin learning more about how they work!
