While a decade ago the term “drones” would have been thought mostly of as the vehicles that are used for wartime operations, drones nowadays have taken on a whole new form. Whether for entertainment, business, or safety, drones play a role across many applications that are recreational, commercial, and beyond. In this blog, we will discuss the various roles that drones play, as well as the basic drone components and accessories that they use for their functionality.
On the consumer level, drones can serve as entertainment and a hobby for enthusiasts, or aid in activities in which drones extend capabilities. Many drone enthusiasts of all ages may use drones for racing, exploring, and to enjoy flight in an easily approachable way. With other activities, such as photography and filming, drones open up the sky and unreachable areas and angles for such enthusiasts to diversify their capabilities. Where shots used to require helicopters and crews, now a single person can direct a drone to capture an image or film. Drones may also inspire younger children to pursue new avenues, including VTOL, aviation, and other STEM sectors through their use.
The other side of drones, which could be seen as the most important development, is the abilities to increase safety and conservational efforts. During search and rescue operations, drones may be used to fly into hard-to-reach areas to survey and search, saving time, money, and lives. Safety may also increase for inspection procedures, such as allowing a drone with a camera to survey bridges and towers rather than having a worker scale the infrastructure. Drones can also be utilized for conservation and environmental applications, allowing users to track emissions, explore nature, monitor deforestation, and even hinder illegal animal poaching. Across all industries and operations, drones open up many avenues to explore with new capabilities.
With the many uses of drones, it is also important to understand the various drone parts that make up the device. Drone propeller parts allow for the flight of the device, and propellers may be manufactured from plastics or carbon fibre. Drone components such as pusher propellers are also important, providing for the forward and backwards direction control of a drone.
The drone propellers and other drone accessories are driven by brushless motors, which are most often powered by batteries. Motors affect the performance of the drone, as well as the battery life for operation time. Drone batteries that power motors will typically differ depending on the type of drone and its application. Smaller drones may use smaller batteries, while larger ones will require a greater capacity to account for all the added functionalities and drone accessories present. As drones continue to rise in popularity, the capabilities of both motors and batteries are quickly improving.
Within the drone, the flight controller is a component that interprets and actuates all the commands that are given by the pilot. The flight controller will be connected to most other done parts, including the battery monitor, sensors, GPS, receiver, and more. The receiver of the drone is also critical for operation, as it allows for radio signals from the pilot controller to be received and directed to the flight controller. The GPS is another important facet, enabling the drone to be aware of and record location, longitude, latitude, and elevation. In some drones, the GPS may allow it to return to a set home point without pilot control.
The camera of the drone is also the final major drone component, and is fairly critical for a number of drone operations. A camera may be needed for many drones to be piloted over long distances, as well as can allow for photography and filming. Some smaller drones may not have a camera and require visuals for piloting, but more complex or advanced drones will have them built in or as a detachable drone accessory.
