Meanwhile, the table shows the top drones in the market in 2019. The Top Drones Of 2019
Aerial drones are the most common drones in use, which is also known as Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). According to McKinsey, the UAS industry value chain comprises the following:
Product
Category
1. Aircraft hardware. 2. Operations; and 3. Services
DJI Mavic 2 Pro
Best drone overall
Yuneec Breeze
Best drone for beginners
The figure here illustrates the components of the UAS value chain. Evidently, start-ups show a strong presence across the value chain. Although the tech giants tend to grab headlines with their drone initiatives, start-ups drive most UAS activity; more than 300 have entered the space since 2000. These companies typically focus on hardware, support services, or operations. The latter is a broad category that includes software and services related to navigation, unmanned traffic management (UTM), the mitigation of threats related to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and the construction and maintenance of UAS-related infrastructure, such as vertiports to accommodate drones that take off and land vertically.
