Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Another term for a drone is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
A UAV provides vehicle lift through rotors or wings, which generate lift forces that counteract the weight of the vehicle.
The term 'drone' refers to the resemblance of early remote-controlled aircraft to the humming or droning sound of a male bee.
