A drone is an unmanned flying vehicle. Drones are used in war for surveillance and to attack targets, and in civilian territories by law enforcement officers to keep an eye on criminals, drug smugglers and illegal immigrants. Hobbyists also design DIY drones at home for recreational use, having fun piloting them and even shooting videos from high up above their neighbourhoods.
Step Two
Sketch drawings of the type of drone you want to use. Your drone could be a helicopter or an aeroplane. A helicopter can ascend and descend vertically or remain hovering, while an aeroplane is good for smoothly cruising from one location to another.
Step Three
Research how much weight a particular helicopter or aeroplane engine can lift. Subtract the weight of the motor itself to find out how much weight you can allocate to the plane or helicopter structure, radio controls, sensors and camera. You may have to increase the size of the aeroplane's wings or the helicopter's rotors, and use lighter material, such as balsa wood instead of plastic, as you balance weight and power requirements. A heavier drone may be sturdier and able to withstand gusts of wind, but be unable to remain airborne as long as a lighter drone that isn't as strong.
Step Four
Prioritise items and features for your design; if you really want there to be a camera, pick one and add its weight to the amount you need to lift. If the motor you picked won't support it, you'll either need to get a more powerful motor or reduce the weight of the rest of the aircraft. You may have to work out multiple versions of your helicopter or plane to achieve the correct balance, and then test its performance through trial and error.
Step Five
Place electronics and power supply in the fuselage of a plane to keep the weight balanced, and place the camera, if you are using one, in the nose or the cockpit. For a helicopter, the power and electronics will go in the helicopter body, with a possible camera mounted in the front.
