An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), most commonly known as a drone is an aircraft without the physical presence of a human pilot on the aircraft. It is a component of an unmanned aircraft system; which includes the UAV, a flight controller and communication systems. While originally they were used for mostly military applications or for missions deemed too dangerous for humans, their use is speedily increasing in a variety of scientific, commercial, agricultural, recreational and other applications. Given below is a list of some distinguishing uses for an unmanned aerial vehicle:

• Meteorological research and studies
• Crop performance monitoring
• Conservation of wildlife
• Land surveyance
• Photography and filmmaking
• Search and rescue mission
• Pipeline inspection
• Military and defense

Designing an unmanned aerial vehicle comes with its own set of challenges with respect to selection of materials. Over the life of a UAV, it experiences exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations, mechanical shocks and forces, humidity, dust and icing. Additionally, optimizing the UAV to minimize weight, size and power consumption is extremely critical.
