Books, Manuscripts
An unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. Its flight is either controlled autonomously by computers in the vehicle, or under the remote control of a navigator or pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. In some quarters of the press drones get a bad press and there has been much controversy over their deployment, some of which is not deserved. This book reveals the history of unmanned aircraft, their recent development and why they have emerged onto the scene.
