The current state of technology now allows for the construction of small unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition to military applications, they can be used in civilian areas. One of these is the possibility of monitoring potential traffic hazards instead of traditional, expensive aerial patrols. This is possible thanks to equipping these units with micro-vision systems with direct transmission of information to a traffic management center. A significant limitation to the applicability of such solutions is the problem of effective aircraft propulsion that meets the criteria required by operational conditions. The article presents the characteristics of electric micro-drives in the context of their application to unmanned aerial vehicles.In many cases, the design and analysis of the parameters of flying models is perceived only as an introduction to learning about the construction of large aircraft. This is not justified, however, because the history of small remotely piloted unmanned aerial vehicles dates back to World War I and II, where such devices were used as artificial targets for military training in ground-based anti-aircraft defense [9].
The actual boom in this type of construction occurred at the end of the 20th century in military applications with the advent of the miniaturization of technical means of electronic data recording and control systems.
It was recognized that an unmanned aerial vehicle could replace its large counterpart in certain conditions, not only reducing costs but also the risk of losing a pilot. (…)
