Aviation History and UAS

  • Chapter
On Integrating Unmanned Aircraft Systems into the National Airspace System

Part of the book series: Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering ((ISCA,volume 36))

  • 1301 Accesses

This “pictorial” Chapter presents a historical perspective on UAS starting from Ancient Greece to the beginning of the 21st Century. The best way to present the evolution of UAS over the years is through a series of figures. An effort was made to arrange these figures chronologically and most have been taken from archives and other online sources. The Chapter layout and contents are similar to Chap. 1 of [2].
