Drones --
Drones are small or medium-sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). They're unique in that they can drive remotely and autonomously, and they're capable of maintaining a controlled, sustained level of flight. Drones are powered by propellers that convert motion into lifting power. The special shape of the propeller blades creates uneven air pressure on the two sides while they are in motion, which generates lifting power.
