What Makes a Drone?

You may already be familiar with how drones fly and what their myriad applications are, but have you thought about the parts that make up a drone? It is very interesting to see what the major components are.

 In the example below we show the necessary parts for a basic Quadcopter drone:

Required Parts

Obviously drones come in all shapes and sizes, and you will see different components dependant on the required application of the drone. However, we hope that our list does at least allow you to picture what makes up a standard drone.
