How Do Drones Work?

- May 15, 2020

Drones are a headline-making piece of technology, capable of capturing incredible video in the hands of skilled pilots and providing some serious internet entertainment when a dog mistakes one for a frisbee. We’ve watched drones perform record-breaking Super Bowl light shows , and looked on as they provided media coverage and relief assistance in the wake of devastating hurricanes. With a joystick and a GPS system, the operations of most consumer drones seem no more complex than playing a video game. However, behind the easy user interface are an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and other complex technologies working to make the mechanics of drone flight as smooth as possible. How do these mechanical features work? How does a drone actually fly? A little wireless technology and a whole lot of physics. Connectivity Drones can be controlled remotely, often from a smartphone or tablet. Wireless connectivity lets pilots view the drone and
