Within the past several years, the use of drones in both the public and private (military) sectors has exploded. People are talking about and building drones, and something most people didn't know of a few years ago is now a household name. Build a Drone will not only teach you how to build your very own drone but also explain their history in the military and the impact they will have - and are starting to have - on our everyday lives.
Author Barry Davies built drones for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and AAI (one of America's largest drone manufacturers), as well as six experimental prototypes for MIT. He not only understood their use in the world but knew the ins and outs of how they should be created and handled. Explained in simple terms with full-color step-by-step directions, Davies offers in-depth detail on how to build a personal drone from ones created specifically for this book.
Whether you plan on using drones for recreation or a more serious purpose (from search and rescue tofarm ing to scanning construction work on a high-rise apartment building), Builda Dronewi will make sure that you understand not only how to construct a drone but also the proper and safe ways to maintain and handle them.
