Description

Whether you plan on using drones for recreation or a more serious purpose (from search and rescue through farming to scanning construction work on a high-rise apartment buildings), Build a Drone will make sure that you not only understand how to construct a drone, but the proper and safe ways to maintain and handle them. Within the last couple of years, the usage of drones in both the public and private (military) sector has exploded. People are talking about drones, building drones, and something most people didn’t know of a few years ago is now a household name. Build a Drone will not only teach you how to build your very own drone, but will explain their history in the military and the impact they will have—and are starting to have—on our everyday lives. Chapters include: Ready Made or BuildSkills and Understanding the Drone BuildDrone AssemblySetup and CalibrationSafety and Flying Your DroneDesigning Your Own DroneAnd more! Author Barry Davies has built drones for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and AAI (one of America’s largest drone manufacturers), as well as six experimental ones for MIT. He not only understands their use in the world, but knows the ins-and-outs of how they can be created and handled. Read more

    • Expected more content
This book seemed like a good source of information, but the content seems rather focused on specific brand of items/components for one particular project. Some of the information seems a bit dated as this was published in 2016, but very basic info that can be found reading online.
