Emily, a young engineer, explores the science behind drones. She learns that drones are UAVs with various applications. The video explains how drones fly using propellers and Bernoulli's principle, and how they move in three dimensions by controlling motor speeds. Stability is maintained through sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers. Emily also discovers how radio signals control the drone. With this knowledge, she appreciates drones as engineering marvels with vast potential.
