The Genesis Of Drone Launch

Posted by basshopper on June 17th, 2019

The first drones were created for use by the army and special services many years ago and had similar shape and functions as the plane. Their task was to collect data and photograph areas where direct flight by plane or helicopter with people on board was not possible or too dangerous.

Like all advanced technology, also drones were initially extremely expensive. Only for several years, as the dynamic development of specialist consumer electronics has developed, new drones have been created in the form of multi-rotors. Today when we are talking a drone, we imagine a quadrocopter with four propellers, and usually drones with a camera.

The more propellers the drone has, the greater the thrust is and can carry more weight. This gives you the opportunity to place on the deck of Lipo batteries with a larger capacity and longer flight time. Higher lifting capacity means also more equipment on board, a better camera and more devices for navigation or data transmission.

Interesting and practical functions of drones
Drones are devices of the 21st century, which have control units armed with even 24-core processors. Also, the simplest models today have very helpful functions supporting piloting and filming from the air.

Filming from the air - a camera placed on the drone can record a movie or take photos from a bird's perspective

Flight plan - the drone moves along the previously programmed route, according to GPS coordinates, or according to the route indicated on the screen of the smartphone

Tactic Air Drone Review

Real-time video preview - a video signal is transmitted from the deck of the drone, which we observe on a smartphone or a special LCD monitor. This is called FPV - (first person view) because it resembles the view of a pilot sitting in the cabin of an aircraft.

Return home - return to the starting point, or to the operator with the transmitter depending on the type and function of the model.

Follow me, follow me - after identifying the object (person) to be filmed, the drone will follow this object.

The hover function - the drone stabilizes its position at a given altitude or in the position of coordinates with the GPS, depending on the functions available in the given model. The function makes it much easier to control the drone and make stable movie recordings or photos from the air.

Application of drones
As unique electronic technologies develop, the functions of drones change dramatically so that adapting them to new tasks becomes faster and easier. Below is a list of the most common applications of drones:

Military applications in raising the country's defence
Controlling places and areas threatened by collisions and accidents like railways and roads
Energy traction control
Supervision of railway traction
Controlling the toxicity of chimney smoke
Supervision of agricultural and forest areas
Blood supply for transfusion - in the design phase
Filming from the air for film and real estate needs
Recreational flights, filming and photos, and training manual skills

Why drones have gained such popularity
The popularity of drones appeared with the emergence of cheap models for amateur applications. Today, everyone can afford to buy a drone for recreational flying and for fun for children and adults.

Drones are the most obedient and predictable in controlling a flying RC remote control model. Thanks to the use of many gyroscopes that stabilize the flight, the risk of accidents is reduced to a minimum. In addition, elements of drone equipment, such as propellers, landing gear, propeller guards, are made of impact-resistant raw materials.

Drone for children
Novelties of contemporary technology attract adults as well as children. The ability to control an unmanned aerial vehicle, and filming and taking photographs from the air, is extremely exciting. Third-generation drones with gyroscopes and barometric sensors are already so stable that it can be controlled by under-experienced people and children. For the youngest, it is even more intuitive, because they are experienced in computer games, and the flight itself is just such a fun that in the real world. Drones should be operated under the supervision of parents or an adult.
