Complete Evolution & History
of Drones: From 1800s to 2024

5.

Drones have come a long way since their inception, evolving from simple tools
used in warfare to multi-purpose devices that we now use for exploration,
photography, and even package delivery.
I find it fascinating to look back on the history of these drones or unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) and see how they’ve expanded into various industries and
applications over time.

6.

The journey of drones began in the early 20th century with the development of the
first pilotless aircraft. World War I sparked a need for technological advancements
in warfare, and this led to the creation of the Kettering Bug, which was one of the
first UAVs ever made. However, it was not until World War II that drones became
more widely utilized, particularly in surveillance and reconnaissance operations.
As drone technology continued to
evolve after the wars, they started to
gain popularity in non-military
sectors as well. Today, I’ll be shedding
light on some of the key moments
and breakthroughs in the history of
drones, which have become an
integral part of our modern world.

Early Beginnings: Balloons and Kites
To understand the history of drones, we must first look back at their earliest
predecessors: balloons and kites. In the early days, kites and balloons served a
variety of purposes, from simple recreational activities to complex military
operations:
Kites were invented in China around 1000 BCE, with the earliest ones used primarily
for cultural and religious celebrations.
During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), kites took on military applications for
signaling, reconnaissance, and even lifting soldiers into the air.
Balloons, meanwhile, entered the scene in the 18th century in France. In 1783, the
Montgolfier brothers launched the first hot air balloon carrying passengers, setting
the stage for aerial exploration and transportation.

The evolution of drones really began to take shape in the early 20th century with
the advent of remote-controlled and autonomous aircraft. Some of the
groundbreaking developments include:
• The first successful remote-controlled aircraft, the British “Aerial Target,” flew
in 1917, intended for anti-aircraft training.
• In 1935, the US Navy developed the “Curtiss N2C-2,” an early radio-controlled
drone designed for target practice and reconnaissance.
The iconic “V-1 Flying Bomb” from
World War II was an early guided
missile, paving the way for more
sophisticated autonomous drones.

Despite this progress, it took time for drones to gain widespread recognition and
find their place in modern society. It’s tough to say exactly when did drones become
popular, but there are a few milestones we can look at:
• In the 1980s and 90s, drones saw increased use in military operations, including
reconnaissance and even attack roles.
• The development of consumer drone technology, like the first mass-market
drone, the DJI Phantom, in 2013, brought drones into the mainstream.
• Drone racing, which took off around 2015, added to the popularity, with the
creation of the Drone Racing League (DRL).
These early beginnings laid the foundation for the diverse and ever-expanding
world of drones we know today. From balloons and kites to remote-controlled
aircraft and autonomous machines, the history of drones is truly a fascinating
journey.

Civilian and Commercial Drones
In 2006 drones were finally liberated to be us ed for recreational purpos es , and
they were no longer jus t for military us e. Meanwhile, in 2009, the Federal Aviation
Adminis tration (FAA) brought in laws that made it illegal to fly unmanned aircraft
without regulation to protect other people’s privacy and s afety which later
became the bigges t obs tacle of commercializing drones .
Many big brands came into the bus ines s , and the res t is known as His tory. The
companies that s tarted firs t with civilian drones were Parrot, DJI, and 3DR. Early
on, drones were not meant for s hooting films , but nowadays , they are us ed by
both profes s ionals and amateurs alike for tas ks s uch as aerial mapping.

Drones have many us es today, including indus trial us e cas es , i.e., ins pecting
power lines or pipelines without putting people in harm’s way of doing s o, to
farming where drones can be us ed to improve the efficiency of s praying
ins ecticides onto crops or checking whether crops need watering or not.
You can even us e them to deliver food, medicine, and other s mall packages
acros s cities , which is known as aerial logis tics .
