Drone

Description

A drone, short for “unmanned aerial vehicle” (UAV), is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. Drones come in various shapes and sizes, and they can be remotely controlled by a human operator or operate autonomously through pre-programmed flight paths. They are widely used in applications such as photography, videography, agriculture, search and rescue, and military operations.
