A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can be remotely piloted or flown autonomously using onboard sensors and GPS, ranging from small consumer quadcopters to large commercial and military systems. Hobbyists, photographers, filmmakers, and professionals across industries like agriculture, construction, and delivery use drones for aerial photography, surveying, inspection, and recreational flying. Operating drones often involves learning flight controls, regulations (such as FAA rules in the U.S.), and, for larger or commercial use, obtaining a pilot certification.
