ACKNOLEDGEMENT
In the accomplishment of this project successfully many people
have best owned upon me their blessings and heart pledged
support.
Primarily I would thank god for being able to complete this
project with success. Then I would like to thank my headmistress
Mrs. Sunita Sehgal and physics teacher Mrs. Sindhu Pillai ,whose
valuable guidance has been the ones that helped me patch this
project and make it full proof success her suggestions and her
instructions has served as major contributor towards the
completion of the project

DRONES
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS), also known as drones, are aircraft either controlled
by pilots from the ground or increasingly, autonomously following a pre-programmed
mission. While there are dozens of different types of drones, they basically fall into two
categories: those that are used for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes and
those that are armed with missiles and bombs.

The use of drones has grown quickly in

years because unlike manned aircraft
can stay aloft for many hours

they

they are much cheaper than military

and they are flown remotely so there is

QUADCOPTER
A quadcopter, also called a quadrotor helicopter or quadrotor, is a multirotor
helicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. Quadcopters are
classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to fixed-wing aircraft, because their lift is
generated by a set of rotors (vertically oriented propellers).
Quadcopters generally use two pairs of identical fixed pitched propellers
By changing the speed of each rotor it is possible to specifically generate a
desired total thrust; to locate for the centre of thrust both laterally and
longitudinally; and to create a desired total torque, or turning force
Quadcopters differ from conventional helicopters which use rotors which are
able to vary the pitch of their blades dynamically as they move around the
rotor hub These vehicles were among the first successful heavier-than-air
vertical take off and landing (VTOL) vehicles.However, early prototypes
suffered from poor performance,and latter prototypes required too much
pilot work load, due to poor stability augmentation and limited control
authority.
Due to their ease of construction and control, quadcopter aircraft are
frequently used as amateur model aircraft projects

Quadcopters are a useful tool for university researchers to test

and
evaluate new ideas in a number of different fields, including flight control
theory, navigation, real time systems, and robotics. In recent years many
universities have shown quadcopters performing increasingly complex aerial
manoeuvres. Swarms of quadcopters can hover in mid-air, in formation,
autonomously perform complex flying routines such as flips, darting through
hula hoops and organising themselves to fly through windows as a group

Quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicles are used for surveillance and

reconnaissance by military and law enforcement agencies, as well as search and
rescue missions in urban environments. One such example is the Aeryon Scout,
created by Canadian company Aeryon Labs which is a small UAV that can
quietly hover in place and use a camera to observe people and objects on the
ground. The company claims that the machine played a key role in a drug bust
in Central America by providing visual surveillance of a drug trafficker's
compound deep in the jungle (Aeryon won't reveal the country's name and
other specifics).

Commercial use
The largest use of quadcopters in the USA has been in the field of
aerial imagery. Quadcopter UAVs are suitable for this job because
of their autonomous nature and huge cost savings .As quadcopters
