Why is a drone called a drone?

 

There were two meanings for drone then:

a "male bee," or a "monotonous, sustained sound."

The aircraft's function can clue you in:

it's an extension of the "bee" meaning.

Drones are bigger and heavier than worker bees,

and they leave the hive and swarm in the fall.

2h 20 min flight time, 10 kg max. payload (and then 45 min flight time remaining). GNSS denied operation, Obstacle detection & avoidance. 2.16 kWh LiIon batteries (12S).
