What is the Difference Between Drone and UAV?
You probably think of a drone when you think of an unmanned aircraft that can be operated autonomously or remotely. For those who aren't familiar with the drone industry, this is most likely what a drone looks like. We don't blame you; it's easy to mistake any unmanned aircraft for a drone capable of flying without the help of a human. However, if you were to technically define what a drone is, any vehicle can actually be a drone as long as it can travel autonomously without the help of humans. In that regard, vehicles that can travel in air, sea, and land can be considered drones as long as they don’t need human intervention to travel.

While the acronym UAV stands for unmanned aerial vehicle, which is very much similar to what a drone is in terms of what the definition means. So, basically, a UAV is anything that can fly aerially but is unmanned in the sense that it doesn’t have a pilot controlling it from the inside. In other words, when we are talking about UAVs, these are simply the vehicles or the airplanes that can fly without the help of a pilot, and we are no longer talking about all of the different types of vehicles here.

You have said the same thing about literally 20 times this video could’ve been 30 seconds long

This is not true im so fed up with people making videos without actually doing any research and making the viewers speading the falls information an creating debates
If 50 people says a tomato is a vegetable and only one says its a fruit it doesn’t necessarily means 50 people are right, in most cases it means only one person is well informed
A drone was first qualified a drone when a camera was added to a uav an flown by video immersion
Later on it was also controlled by gps mapping
A drone can be remotely controlled by a pilot as long as he is using the help of a camera as supose to having a direct view with the naked eye
or it has to be autonomous by the help of gps mapping
Any vehicles (plane quadcopters helicopters boats cars missels) becomes a drone if its contronled by a gps mapping program or remotely controled and guided with the help of an immersive image
If not its an uav which is simply a remote controlled vehicle without any pilot onboard and guided by a direct contact with the naked eye

An remoted underwater vehicle ruv is a underwater drone for the same reasons

The word drone
A drone is a male honey bee and the sound that it makes while flying is called droning (roar) therefore they baptized the first aircraft uav with a camera a drone because of its droning roaring sound

Reminder from an Ace combat fan: Ai should never be allowed to roam the skies freely.
