4
1. Body
2. Frame
3. Propellers
4. Controller
Body
Frame
Propellers

5. How Drone Works
– 3 modes of motion: Lift, Yaw and Pitch.
1. Lift: fly drone upwards
2. Yaw: rotation about center of XY plane.
3. Pitch: rotation other than center of XY plane

 When we send
command through the
controller, the antennas
on drone will receive the
signal and perform as
commanded.

6. Types of Drones
– Types of drones can be divided in 4 categories with different number
of propellers:
