Before that, do you know the meaning of "drones"? In fact, it is the English word that everyone knows that points to "bug".
Drones basically have multiple propellers and fly by rotating at high speed. So, there will be a lot of noise when flying. Is it called "drone" because it sounds a bit like the feather sound of "that bug"? It is considered to be. " That bug "is" bee ".

That's what it says. Whether this bee is an etymology or not is the first one.
The second theory can be traced back to World War II. At that time, there was a training plane called the "target drone". This is for unmanned flight in the air and training with this as the goal. In other words, drones for air-to-air shooting training existed for a long time.
So why are many chapters now called drones? it is thought that it may come from the "queen ratio" of the British army. "Queen ratio" refers to the queen bee.
As a result, some people say that the fight against queen bees is called drones with meaning "drones".
Next, let's take a look at terms other than "drones". Has anyone ever heard of using the word "UAV" or "multi-chapter" to refer to a drone?
All these words refer to drones. Since it is named after the characteristics of drones, let's take a look at this, too.
Duozhang is a kind of helicopter. As can be seen from the word "many", it refers to an aircraft with three or more rotors. Among them, especially the unmanned aircraft is the drone.
In other words, drones are not just called multi-chapters, but there is the impression of drones in the classification of multi-chapters.

So when exactly did the word drones begin and how did it infiltrate the world? It is widely believed that Parrot's "Parrot AR Drone" may be the first France to emerge in 2010. This is a small drone that can be easily operated on a smartphone and is popular all over the world. In terms of positioning, it gives people the impression of "a new toy instead of a radio helicopter." Of course, there have been drones for agriculture for a long time, but as Hobbie, drones are universal, and I think this is due to this "Parrot AR Drone".
Then came DJI, which now has a majority of the market. Phantom 1 was released in 2013 and is still the ancestor of the popular Phantom series. Flying with GoPro can be said to be a representative work of implanting the concept of drone × aerial photography into Hobbit Youth.
I think drones (UAV) actually have a long history. Hobyderon's run is Parrot, which is surprisingly unknown. Considering that the Parrot AR Drone is in 2010, the evolution of drones in recent years has been amazing. It is hoped that innovative drones can also be developed for new uses in the future.
