Drone is a type of unmanned aerial vehicle. Original intent for drone invention was for military purposes. But at present civilian drone outnumbers the military ones by far. Apart from the military, the usage of drones is expanding to other sectors like commercial, scientific, and recreational. Agricultural and more. Drones can also help in special activities like surveillance, product delivery, and aerial photography. The high popularity of drones has led to the sport known as drone racing. In this race, participants control drones equipped with a camera and wear head-mounted displays showing live stream camera feed from the drones. To win the air racing, one has to complete the set course as quickly as possible.
