Drone technology uses a combination of different formulas that are derived from math and

physics that help a drone fulfill its purposes of flying into the air and dropping its bombs onto
designated targets. These mathematical and physics are fundamentally important for helping
drones achieve their maximum potential as drone technology becomes more complicated and
advanced over times.
Many drone actions require the usage of kinetics, which is the study of air power that is an
important part of the usage of drone technology. Basic functions such as the throttle and thrust
of the engines need o be calculated by kinetics formulas as Fn/m- (Vjte-Va) in which Vjte is the
full expanded jet velocity of the plane with an exhaust plume, Va is the velocity of the aircraft,
and m is the intake mass flow of the aircraft through its engines. This thrust formula is important
in calculating is net thrust and its intake of air flow so its parameters can be calculated in terms
of cruising speed and altitude. Other formulas for acceleration such as v=vo+at, angular
displacement with =wo- theta0, and using vector formulas such as |R xS|= |R| |S|sin theta is
important for calculating changes in speed the drone may have to make depending on takeoff,
landing, or during its travels to a certain location, whereas angular displacement is important in
terms of calculating the angle a bomb is dropped off the drone and calculating is trajectory
towards the designated target.
The most important forms for the drone is in regards to its functionality in the air. There are
formulas that deal with reaction pressure of the blade, power caused for the blade, and
performance(Euler equation which is e to the ix= cos x + i sin x) designated to turbines, all for
the purpose of ensuring basic functionality of the drone and to decrease the margin of human
error that could be heightened without correct usage of the formulas. In addition , the formulas
also save time and money for drone technology as developing prototypes and testing various

functions before actual production of the drone models can be very expensive. The formulas
serve as a safeguard to enhance and to improve the various functions of drone technology.
