Postgraduate Diploma in Drone Flight
The flight of a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle is explained by the basic principles of aerodynamics, which are the same that govern the flight of any aircraft. Drone technology is based on the combination of different components, such as a battery, motors, controllers and sensors that allow them to operate and navigate in airspace. The propellers rotate at high speed by means of the energy generated electrically by the battery, providing the necessary power to keep the drone in the air. In turn, the drone controller receives direct orders from a pilot or programmed instructions to then send signals to the motors, directing the flight and stabilizing the vehicle.
Become a Drone Flight specialist through this program for Engineering professionals
A Drone Flight Specialist has advanced experience and knowledge about the use and operation of drones, whether for recreational, commercial or research purposes. In addition, they have an in-depth understanding of the basic principles of aeronautics and are familiar with local regulations and laws governing the use of drones in different locations.
As an expert they must have the advanced technical skills to handle and operate drones, as well as to perform specific tasks with them, such as taking high-quality photographs and videos, collecting data, performing inspections, sending packages and other uses. Know all about the software used to control and program drones, and be up to date with the latest technological innovations and trends in the field.
TECH the largest online university in the world has the specialized academic program designed to train in the management, operation and use of drones for various purposes.
