Who inovated drone 1st time in world?

The first drone-like invention dates back to 1916, when Archibald Low, a British engineer, developed the Aerial Target, an early attempt at an unmanned aircraft for military use. However, it was never deployed in combat.

First Practical Drone

The Radioplane OQ-2, developed in 1939 by Reginald Denny, was the first mass-produced drone. It was used by the U.S. military for target practice during World War II.

First Modern Drone

The development of modern drones took off in the 1990s and 2000s with military UAVs like the RQ-1 Predator, used for surveillance and later for airstrikes.

For commercial and hobby drones, DJI (founded in 2006) became a major player, introducing drones like the Phantom series, which popularized drone use for photography and videography.
