Introduction:

This program provides general and in depth knowledge about the world of unmanned aircraft and drones by presenting a historical introduction to drones and a simplified entry into the world of manned and unmanned aircrafts, helicopters, and drones. The course will cover the engines aspects to understand the reality of unmanned aircraft and then proceeding to how the types of engines that work on drones perform and presenting an explanation of the applications of unmanned aircraft, for civil and scientific uses. Moreover, an explanation of the process of taking off, and landing of all types of unmanned aircrafts. In addition, how to confront drones according to the size and danger they pose, how to avoid their danger safely, and clarify the ways to use drones in a safe and sound manner, through regulations, laws and the behavior of individuals. This course also will show the mechanisms of drones designs, their manufacturing aspects, and different types of materials used in drones manufacturing.
