The air resistance acting against the drone’s motion, typically affecting speed and energy efficiency, is called:

a)

Drag

b)

Lift

The force that opposes gravity, allowing the drone to ascend or hover in place, is called:

a)

Thrust

b)

Drag

c)

Lift

d)

Weight

3.

The additional lift generated as the drone moves forward, typically due to increased airflow over the rotors, is called:

a)

Translational Lift

b)

Dynamic Lift

c)

Forward Thrust

d)

Rotor Wash

4.

The ability of the drone to remain stationary in mid-air, requiring balancing thrust and maintaining stability, is called:

a)

Hovering

b)

Gliding

c)

Diving

d)

Soaring

5.

A loss of lift, often caused by improper angles of the propellers or insufficient speed, is called:

a)

Stall

b)

Drag

c)

Thrust

d)

Lift

6.

A programmed flight path where the drone moves through a series of specified points is called:

a)

Waypoint navigation

b)

Direct control

c)

Manual piloting

d)

Random flight

7.

The upward force generated by the propellers to counteract gravity and lift the drone off the ground is called:

a)

Thrust

b)

Drag

c)

Lift

d)

Weight

8.

The drone’s ability to perform quick and precise movements, such as sharp turns or flips, is called:

a)

Agility

b)

Stability

c)

Endurance

d)

Lift

9.

The tilt of the drone to the left or right along its longitudinal axis, allowing it to move sideways, is called:

a)
