UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) drones are aircraft systems that operate without an onboard human pilot. They can be controlled remotely by a human operator or fly autonomously using onboard computers and sensors. UAV drones are used in a wide range of applications, including military, commercial, industrial, and recreational purposes. The UAV drones market is rapidly expanding due to technological advancements, increasing adoption across various industries, and the development of supportive regulatory frameworks.

Here are types of UAV Drones:

• Fixed-Wing Drones: Resemble traditional airplanes with a rigid wing design; they are efficient for long-range flights and are often used for surveillance, mapping, and agricultural purposes.
• Rotary-Wing Drones (Quadcopters, Hexacopters, etc.): Feature rotating blades for lift and maneuverability, making them ideal for tasks requiring stability and the ability to hover, such as photography, inspections, and deliveries.
• Hybrid Drones: Combine features of both fixed-wing and rotary-wing drones, offering vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities along with efficient forward flight, used in applications that require flexibility and endurance.
• Single-Rotor Drones: Similar to helicopters with one large rotor and a smaller tail rotor; they are capable of heavy lifting and are used in specialized applications like cargo transport.
