DESIGN OF A DRONE HAVING CAPABILITY TO TRANSFORM ITS CONFIGURATION DEPENDING ON MISSION PROFILE

Over the last decade, drone technology has helped lower most of the cost for critical missions and has increased the number of possible applications across almost all the fields. [1] These applications range from remote sensing, aerial surveillance, motion picture filmmaking to mineral exploration, disaster relief, and many others, among which delivery system could be one of the most talked once. Based on these uses, many small and few large-scale businesses have emerged seeking to conquer the drone industry. These businesses are mostly related to governmental, commercial, or military applications. [2] There is no doubt that drone technology comes with few misleading activities like illegal use of drones for spying, or killer drones used by terrorist organizations. [3] This has made the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) rethink over these inhumane possibilities by drones, and forced them to come up with new sets of rules for drone flying. But this does not stop thinkers like us from believing in drone's true potential, and to come up with groundbreaking discoveries to make human life more affordable and secure. [4] Companies are using drones to transport blood packs in rural areas where ground transport in a short time is not available. Government using them in a pandemic situation to transport medical equipment, sanitizing certain red zones. [5] Police services using them for monitoring certain areas. Whilst keeping all of this in mind, could there be any other possibility that can be achieved using drones?
