Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The makerspace movement is as nascent and revolutionary as the technology behind unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and this volume introduces readers to both fascinating worlds. UAVs are no longer science fiction. Though their surveillance capabilities are controversial, they're also being used for more practical purposes. This volume teaches young people how members of the maker movement are producing their own UAVs for productive purposes. Readers learn just what makerspaces are and where to find one in their own community, hopefully piquing their interest in engineering careers.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
What are unmanned aerial vehicles? -- Blast off! rocketing into the world of UAVS -- Building blocks for a makerspace UAV project -- Quadromania : the innovation of quadrocopters -- Eyes in the sky -- Real maker tales of building UAVS -- Opportunities in UAV technology -- New advances in UAV.
