What is the principle of drone?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has been a hot topic in the field of science and technology in recent years, and its principles and applications have attracted much attention. This article will analyze the flight principles, core technologies, application scenarios and hot topics of the past 10 days, and present key information through structured data.

1. The flying principle of drones

What is the principle of drone?

The flight of drones is mainly based on aerodynamics and electronic control technology. Its core principles include:

Principle classificationillustrate
Lift generationThe rotation of the propeller generates airflow differential pressure to form lift (fixed-wing drones depend on the shape of the wing)
Power systemBattery/fuel-driven motors that drive propellers or jets
Attitude controlThe gyroscope + accelerometer senses the attitude, and the flight control system adjusts the motor speed to achieve balance.
Navigation and positioningGPS/Beidou positioning + visual sensor fusion enables autonomous flight

2. Core technology modules

4. Typical application scenarios

According to the 2023 industry report, drones are mainly used in the following fields:

Application areasProportionRepresentative models
aerial photography34%DJI Air 3
Agricultural plant protection28%XAG P100
Electric power inspection19%Daotong arowana

5. Technology development trends

According to recent industry dynamics analysis, drone technology will show the following development directions:

1.Intelligent clustering: The formation performance of 500 drones displayed at the 2023 Zhuhai Air Show highlights the breakthrough of collaborative control algorithm

2.New energy power: The battery life of hydrogen fuel cell drone exceeds 8 hours (such as Keweitai H6 model)

3.AI deep integration: Automatic target recognition accuracy reaches 97% (NVIDIA Jetson platform case)

Currently, drone technology has formed a complete industrial chain, from chips (such as Qualcomm Flight platform), sensors (Sony IMX series) to complete machine manufacturing. With the development of 6G communications and edge computing, drones will play a greater role in the urban air transportation (UAM) field in the future.
