Abstract

This article discusses drones and how they may be used. The drone's construction was first considered, with the frame, propellers, engine, power system, electronic control, and communication system being the most essential components. A drone is powered by batteries, which is a significant disadvantage since the batteries run out after 15 minutes of flying, resulting in a reduced drone on the ground. The drones are propelled by lithium-polymer batteries. The military and commercial drones were then compared on chosen instances. In terms of size and propulsion, military drones vary from civilian drones. They are larger and use internal combustion engines to power them. Electric motors power civilian drones. The potential for utilizing drones were then shown. They may be employed by the government (police, fire departments, border guards), the army, industry, for photographing and filmmaking, and for transporting goods. The article depicts the dangers associated with the use of drones. The biggest risk of operating drones is a drone falling from a considerable height, which may be caused by a discharged battery, weather-related damage (low air temperature, precipitation), or a collision with an object (tree, building, high-voltage line). Many efforts are now underway to create electricity for drones, including grapheme batteries, pure lithium anodes, and fuel cells. One of the most significant dangers connected with the widespread deployment of civilian drones is that of privacy and citizen rights.
