The movement of a drone without the use of propeller thrust, often due to momentum or wind assistance, is called:
Hovering
Gliding
Ascending
Descending
The air resistance acting against the drone’s motion, typically affecting speed and energy efficiency, is called:
Drag
Lift
Thrust
Weight
The rate at which the drone changes its speed in any direction is called:
Velocity
Acceleration
Momentum
Displacement
The unintended movement of the drone caused by external forces like wind or imperfect calibration is called:
drift
hover
ascend
descend
The reduction of the drone’s speed, often achieved by decreasing thrust or tilting in the opposite direction of motion, is called:
Braking
Acceleration
Hovering
Lifting
The upward force generated by the propellers to counteract gravity and lift the drone off the ground is called:
Thrust
Drag
Lift
Weight
The additional lift generated as the drone moves forward, typically due to increased airflow over the rotors, is called:
Translational Lift
Dynamic Lift
Forward Thrust
Rotor Wash
A programmed flight path where the drone moves through a series of specified points is called:
Waypoint navigation
Direct control
Manual piloting
Random flight
The distance required for a drone to make a full turn at a given speed is called:
Turning radius
Flight path
Altitude
Velocity
The consistent speed at which a drone moves efficiently during flight is called:
Hover speed
Cruise speed
Maximum speed
Minimum speed
A smooth, curved motion where the drone rolls and yaws simultaneously to change direction is called:
Hovering
Banked Turn
Vertical Takeoff
Spiraling
The tilt of the drone to the left or right along its longitudinal axis, allowing it to move sideways, is called:
Pitch
Yaw
Roll
Hover
Dynamic Positioning in the context of drones is:
a method to control a drone's position using GPS and sensors
a technique for increasing drone speed
a way to enhance drone battery life
a strategy for drone maintenance
The intentional angle adjustment of the drone’s body to achieve a particular motion or direction is called:
Yaw
Pitch
Roll
Tilt
The route the drone takes while moving from one point to another is called:
Path
Trajectory
Course
Flight plan
The downward movement of the drone, achieved by decreasing thrust, is called:
Hovering
Ascending
Descending
Gliding
The process of maintaining smooth and level flight despite external factors like wind is called:
Stabilization
Leveling
Balancing
Trimming
The force that opposes gravity, allowing the drone to ascend or hover in place, is called:
Thrust
Drag
Lift
Weight
The rotation of the drone around its vertical axis, causing it to turn left or right, is called:
Pitch
Roll
Yaw
Throttle
A loss of lift, often caused by improper angles of the propellers or insufficient speed, is called:
Stall
Drag
Thrust
Lift
