All about Drones
A drone is a flying machine that is controlled remotely or by a computer program. Most drones have several rotors, cameras and sensors, and they can hover, fly on set routes and return to their starting point automatically.
Drones are used to take photos from the air, deliver packages, inspect bridges and wind turbines, and help scientists map forests and coastlines. Drone pilots must follow safety rules about where and how they can fly.
