Abstract

In recent years, commercial drone systems have been adopted in various industries, such as agriculture, infrastructure monitoring, cargo transport, security, and filming. This section presents a comprehensive review of the latest trends and research areas in commercial drone technology. An overview of the top five drone usage areas is provided, and a master list of commercial drone applications is compiled. Additionally, the existing challenges of the drone industry, such as endurance issues, noise concerns, risks of mid-air collisions, navigation problems, insurance policies, and lack of technical education opportunities are evaluated. Finally, a list of innovative and popular research areas for drone technology, including alternative energy sources, wireless charging methods, hybrid vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drones, bio-inspired designs, and more is presented. This section serves as a valuable resource for entrepreneurs and researchers interested in drone-related technologies and can guide the future development of the industry.
