UAVs Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
After the Wright brothers worked so hard to put humans in the air by flying machines, now a day’s some aerospace engineers are working hard to take out of the flying machine. UAVs Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are the Airplanes that have no humans on board which are operated and flown remotely by pilots.
Israel is the first nation to use UAVs in the combat situation arguing that loss of relative inexpensive UAVs was better than the loss of a pilot and a multi-million dollar airplane.
UAVs are mainly used to carry sensors, target designated and electronic transmitters
Designed to destroy enemy’s target, UAVs are more effective fly at greater range and endurance.
Range – Is the maximum distance an aircraft can fly between takeoff and landing.
Endurance – Is the maximum length of time that an aircraft can spend in cruising flight (level flight).
