Why is a drone called drone?

The reason why the man-machine is called "drone" is related to a number of aspects:
I. History and Origin
"Drone" originally referred to drones in English, especially drones that do not participate in honey harvesting. These drones play a passive role in the bee colony, with the main task of mating with the queen bee and dying soon afterward.
In the early days of drone development, people began to use the word "drone" to describe these aircraft because they were also designed and remotely controlled by humans to perform specific tasks without the need for direct pilot control like manned aircraft.
2. Sound characteristics
When a drone is flying, its propellers or engines tend to emit a low, monotonous humming sound that is quite similar to the buzz that drones make when flying. Therefore, the word "drone" is also associated with drones because of its sound characteristics.
3. Functional similarity
Drones and drones also have certain similarities in functionality. Drones are mainly responsible for mating tasks in a bee colony, while drones are aircraft designed by humans to perform specific tasks, such as reconnaissance, filming, logistics, etc. Although their tasks are very different in nature, they have something in common when it comes to "unmanned operation" and "performing a specific task".
Fourth, wide application and acceptance
With the continuous development of UAV technology, its application in military, civilian and other fields is becoming more and more extensive. The word "drone" was gradually accepted as a synonym for drones, and it is still used today.
To sum up, the reason why "drone" has become a common name for drones is because the word is associated with drones in several ways. It is not only similar to drones in terms of sound characteristics, but also has certain commonalities with drones in terms of function, and also has a deep historical background.

What are the characteristics of professional remote control car toys
Professional RC car toys (such as racing RC cars, climbing RC cars, model RC cars, etc.) have significant differences in performance, structure, function and applicable scenarios compared with ordinary toy RC cars, and the main features are as follows:
Intelligent AI robot toys have developed in recent years
Improvement of interaction technology: With the rapid development of deep learning, natural language processing and multi-modal interaction technology, the multi-modal model based on the Transformer architecture enables robot toys to achieve more natural and anthropomorphic dialogues, with faster response speed and more delicate emotional expression. For example, Ropet can respond to human touch and facial expressions, and can also recognize different targets.
Why do you need a driver's license for a professional Drone
Professional drones require a driver's license for the following reasons: Ensure flight safety: UAV driver's license training covers flight principles, meteorological knowledge, emergency treatment, etc., which can help operators master the safe operation specifications of the system. After formal training and assessment, learning flight principles, airspace regulations and emergency response capabilities can effectively reduce the probability of accidents. Professional drones are often used in complex environments and tasks, such as surveying and mapping, inspection, etc., and the holder can be more proficient in dealing with complex environments to ensure the safety of man and machine.

Analysis of the four-axis principle of Drone
The core principle of the Drone quadcopter (quadrotor) can be simply summarized as: Through the speed difference of the four rotors, the lift and torque are controlled to achieve flight attitude adjustment.
The difference between a model car and a general RC car
What is a simulated car model? The simulated car model is the car model, which is completely based on the shape, structure, color, and even interior parts of the real car, and the scale model is made in strict proportional reduction, and the static and dynamic car models are distinguished according to performance. Because of its true reproduction of the main characteristics of the original car, the car model is well-made, and it contains car culture and has a very collectible value. A set of carefully collected car models can completely and truly reproduce the history of a car company and a car brand.
