Examining the Types of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Their Usage Areas

Recent advances in technology have led to the introduction of some innovations into people's lives. New studies in the field of aviation have led to the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), which are used for different purposes in military and civil areas, with the combined use of communication, electronics, and navigation technologies. UAVs are pilotless aerial vehicles that carry payloads and are automatically flown with their own power system by remote command. Unmanned aerial vehicles are preferred in engineering studies and different professions due to their high resolution, speed, low cost, and multiple flights. In addition, UAVs are used in many areas, as they allow easy measurement in areas that are dangerous for people and require precise movement. UAVs, whose usages are becoming more and more widespread day by day, are used primarily in cartography studies, geological and meteorological research, archaeological studies, agricultural applications, mining, disaster management, forestry, etc. used in professions. In this study, the possibilities, and types of use of unmanned aerial vehicles by different professional disciplines are emphasized. In this context, the areas where UAVs are used, and data collection and production methods are emphasized.
