Currently, there is a significant gap in educational literature when it comes to drone-based numerical problems and calculations. While the market offers numerous books on drone piloting, assembly guides, and regulatory compliance, none provide a structured collection of mathematical and physics-based numerical exercises specifically designed around drone scenarios. This book fills that critical void by offering students, educators, and drone enthusiasts a comprehensive resource dedicated entirely to practicing and mastering drone-related calculations through systematic numerical problems.
Unlike existing drone literature that focuses primarily on operational procedures or technical specifications, this book transforms drone technology into an engaging mathematical learning tool. It provides readers with hundreds of carefully crafted numerical exercises that span various difficulty levels and subject areas—from basic arithmetic and geometry to advanced calculus and aerodynamic equations—all contextualized within real-world drone applications. This unique approach not only makes abstract mathematical concepts tangible and relevant but also equips readers with the practical calculation skills needed for actual drone operation, design, and optimization.
The absence of such a resource in the current market has left drone enthusiasts and students without a dedicated platform to develop their quantitative understanding of drone mechanics, flight dynamics, and performance optimization through practice problems. This book addresses that need by serving as both an educational textbook and a practical workbook, complete with solved examples, graded exercises, worksheets, and comprehensive answer keys. It stands alone as the first publication to systematically integrate drone technology with numerical problem-solving across multiple educational levels, making it an essential and pioneering resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the mathematics and physics that govern drone flight and performance
Rakesh Rai is a visionary entrepreneur, technologist, and educator who stands at the forefront of India burgeoning Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sector. As the Founder and Director of Rotorize Aviation, a DGCA-approved Remote Pilot Training Organization (RPTO), and the founder of Dronasthra Energy Flights Private Limited, Rakesh has dedicated his career to demystifying drone technology and fostering a new generation of multirotor and V-TOL skilled aviators.
