Description

DRONE FLIGHT PRACTICE AND RACING SYSTEM

The present invention relates to a drone flight practice and racing system, by using a sensor and LED (LED) in the racing circuit, by setting the course and the final destination for the drone to move, drone flight practice through a variety of courses without changing the structure of the racing circuit And a drone flight practice and racing system that enables racing.

Drone refers to an airplane or helicopter-like vehicle that is not burned by humans and is driven by radio wave guidance. In the early days, drones were used as targets instead of air force aircraft, anti-aircraft guns, and missiles, but they were developed as reconnaissance with the development of radio technology, penetrating deep into the enemy's inland and used for reconnaissance or surveillance. Recently, drones are equipped with various weapons such as missiles, and are used as attackers.

 According to the purpose of the use of drones, various aircrafts with various sizes and performances are being developed in various ways. In addition to military use of large aircrafts, micro drones are being actively developed and researched.

In addition, in 2015, RC multicopters rapidly became popular as 'men's hobbies' on the mass media, and most of them call them RC drones. However, all drones can be seen as drones, regardless of shape, and these drones are sold in various product groups in relation to individual hobby activities.

In recent years, the range of use of drones has been gradually increasing, including the use of drones for transportation purposes. In the early stages of drone development, they were classified as target drones, reconnaissance drones, and surveillance drones.

Such drones have recently been used in various fields such as logistics, disaster relief, broadcasting, leisure, etc. in addition to military use, due to various advantages such as simplicity, speed, and economic feasibility. There is a risk of falling due to inexperienced operation, and the risk of damage that can result in economic damage due to the destruction of many expensive components, or accompanied by secondary safety accidents for persons and objects is also seriously raised. It is true.

Drones with the risks mentioned above are already widely used and widely used in the market. In the case of unskilled people, it is necessary to practice to improve the maneuverability, and the size of disaster disasters, radioactive fires, collapses, chemical disasters, etc. Under extreme circumstances, it is necessary to train professionals who can use drones to minimize human and material damage.

In addition, such drones are not easily accessible to the general public due to dangers and constraints of places, and it is difficult to find a suitable place for practice even for users who use them as a hobby. There was no proper means to specifically test the skills of drone users.
