INTRODUCTION
A drone, in technological terms, is an unmanned aircraft. Drones are more formally
known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft systems (UASe).
Essentially, a drone is a flying robot that can be remotely controlled or fly
autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems,
working in conjunction with onboard sensors and GPS .
In the recent past, UAVs were most often associated with the military, where they were
used initially for anti-aircraft target practice, intelligence gathering and then, more
controversially, as weapons platforms. Drones are now also used in a wide range of
civilian roles ranging from search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather
monitoring and firefighting, to personal drones and business drone-based photography,
as well as videography, agriculture and even delivery services.
Basic component required
Four arms
Four brushless motor 12
Propeller
Microcontroller
Sensor
Speed controller
Transmitter
Receiver
Battery
Camera
The core components of a quadcopter are as follows;
Chassis – the skeleton of the drone which all componentry is fixed to. The chassis design is a trade-off
between strength (especially when additional weight such as cameras are attached) and additional
weight, which will require longer propellers and stronger motors to lift.
Propellers – principally effect the load that the quadcopter can carry, the speed it can fly, and the
speed it can manoeuvre. The length can be modified; longer propellers can achieve greater lift at a
lower rpm but take longer to speed up/slow down. Shorter propellers can change speed quicker and
thus are more maneuverable, however they require a higher rotational speed to achieve the same
power as longer blades.
Motors – 1 per propeller, drone motors are rated in “Kv” units which equates to the number of
revolutions per minute it can achieve when a voltage of 1 volt is supplied to the motor with no load. A
faster motor spin will give more flight power, but requires more power from the battery resulting in a
decreased flight time.
Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) – provides a controlled current to each motor to produce the
correct spin speed and direction.
Flight Controller – the onboard computer which interprets incoming signals sent from the pilot and
sends corresponding inputs to the ESC to control the quadcopter.
Radio Receiver – receives the control signals from the pilot.

Working principle
Quadcopter is a device based on mechatronics project work on the principle of
aviation.
The 4 propellers of a quadcopter are fixed and vertically orientated. Each
propeller has a variable and independent speed which allows a full range of
movements. Shown below is the different propeller combinations that facilitate
different drone movements.
This is unlike conventional helicopters which are controlled by propellers with
blades that dynamically pitch around the rotor hub. The components required
for blade pitch are expensive which is one of the reasons quadcopters are
becoming so common with recreational UAV enthusiasts.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages :-
Easy in communication.
Can detect threats.
Can seek missing children.
Monitor environmental data.
Temperature and humidity sensing.
Disadvantages :-
Can be damage in storm.
Cannot work efficiently in heavy rain.
Domestic drones violate right to privacy.
Application
Photography and videography.
Load carriage.
Surveillance.
Tracking.
Transportation and communication.
Conclusion
It can be concluded from the above discussion that as with other manmade technologies
this is also note with out its benefit and drawback.
The need of the time is to research upon its utilities rather than design.
