Oh so fancy
This company was the first to mass-produce a drone for consumers and is known for its Mavic and Phantom series
Who is DJI?
What LED stands for
What is a Light Emitting Diode
the primary way to create lift, drones typically have four of these:
What are motors/propellers
this is what moves the drone
What are the control sticks
This is the government agency responsible for regulating the use of planes and drones in national airspace
What is the FAA
Used by the military, search and rescue teams, and firefighters, some drones come equipped with thermal imaging camera that detect this:
What is heat
This electronic component opposes the flow of electric current. don't forget them, or else your in for a news FLASH
What is a resistor?
This is the primary component that powers most drones, often a rechargeable lithium-ion or lithium-polymer type
What is a battery?
some drone controllers have a flip out stand to hold one of these. useful for photography!
what is a phone.
this corporate giant is using drones to deliver packages to their customers
What is Amazon
using cameras or infrared sensors, some drones have built in programming that allow them to do this. Ah! Look out!
What is obstacle avoidance
Found in high voltage circuits, this prevents things from surging with too much electricity. Don't blow it!
What is a fuse
This type of processor, often used in drones, is specifically designed to handle the complex calculations needed for real-time flight control and navigation
What is a flight controller?
sometimes a single button or a d-pad, they adjust this. not like something you would do to hedges
what is trim.
You need to complete this if you want to fly drones commercially
What is a Part 107 certification
This technology is what allows drones to be flown autonomously
What is GPS navigation
Like a battery, this power storing component can discharge fast, and charge just as quickly
What is a capacitor
What you might use at a wedding, or any special event you want to remember
What is a camera.
sick trick, man! press this button and do this:
what is a flip
This term describes the use of drones to record crop growth and assess soil health by using sensors like multi spectral cameras
Found on drones with built in cameras, this allows drones to follow the movement of a person or object
What is active tracking
This law, the formula of which is V=IR, is used to calculate the current of a circuit
What is Ohm's Law?
This component stabilizes the camera on the drone, ensuring smooth video footage during flight, and is crucial for professional cinematography
What is a gimbal
This button on a controller allows you to set this, so if you lose signal during flight, it will automatically come back
What is return to home
There are two laws used to explain lift. One relating to fluid pressure, and one relating to reactions
What are Newton's Third Law and Bernoulli's Principle
