American English language version of the above.
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), commonly known as a Drone, is an aircraft with no human pilot, crew, or passengers on board, but rather is controlled remotely or is autonomous. UAVs were originally developed through the twentieth century for a full range of military missions too "dull, dirty or dangerous" for humans. As control technologies improved and costs fell, their use expanded to many non-military applications. These include aerial reconnaisance and photography, area coverage, precision agriculture, forest fire monitoring, river monitoring, environmental monitoring, weather observation, policing and surveillance, infrastructure inspections, smuggling -- even product deliveries, entertainment and drone racing.
Midget Aircraft are not officially classified into their own industry-recognized category, but rather refer to aircraft diminutive in size, unmanned or with a one to two person capacacity, and/or capable of carrying small payloads. They are capable of many of the same missions as those fulfilled by drones or light aircraft.
X-Planes are a series of experimental United States aircraft and rockets, used to test and evaluate new technologies and aerodynamic concepts. They have an X designator within the US system of aircraft designations, which denotes the experimental research mission. Not all US experimental aircraft have been designated as X-planes; some received US Navy designations before 1962, while others have been known only by manufacturers' designations, non-'X'-series designations, or classified codenames. The X-planes concept officially came into being in 1944, as a joint programme between the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), the US Navy (USN) and the US Army Air Force (USAAF).
