Welcome to Dronepedia: A place to compile knowledge on the design, building, and uses of civilian unmanned aerial vehicles. From simple RC gliders and indoor helicopter toys to sophisticated survey equipment, piloting vehicles without being in the cockpit has become a popular and inexpensive hobby as well as a rapidly growing professional field. As interest in this topic grows, participants have to quickly acquire knowledge of disparate topics like aerodynamics, airframe engineering, robotics, photography, and piloting via radio control, first-person video, & various autopilots. This site aims to tie together the vast amounts of information contained in flourishing communities of blogs and forums in an easier-to-digest form.
