In 1950s and 1960s, China's UAV research was in its infancy.
China began to study drones with the help of the Soviet Union in the late 1950s. Later, due to various reasons, the Soviet Union withdrew from China, and Chinese, who struggled hard, developed it by himself. It was not until December 1966 that China's first unmanned aerial vehicle "Changkong No.1" made its first flight.
In the 1980s and 1990s, UAVs began to enter the civilian field.
In 1982, Israel pioneered the cooperative operation of drones and manned aircraft, and drones returned to everyone's sight, and the road to real development of drones opened. With the maturity of military UAV technology, it began to enter the civilian field. In the early stage of development, civil unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mainly relied on government capital investment and regional pilot projects. UAV technology brought economic benefits and improved work quality in many fields.
After the 21st century, UAVs have entered a period of vigorous development.
At the beginning of the 21st century, because the original unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was large, its target was obvious and it was not easy to carry, a mini UAV was developed, with a smaller model and more stable efficiency, which could be handled by a backpack.
In 2006, DJI UAV Company, which influenced the world's civil UAV pattern, was established, which had a far-reaching impact in the world.
In 2015, it was a year of rapid development of drones, and the financing of major operators was successful, which created very favorable conditions for the development of drones.
Nowadays, the UAV market is becoming more and more popular. More than 50 kinds of UAVs have been developed in 32 countries, which brings a lot of convenience to life. How to standardize the increasingly popular UAV market and make it develop continuously and healthily is an urgent problem to be solved at present.
