jan 1, 1930 - In the early 1930's the US navy produced the first radio controlled aircraft
Description:
In the late 1930s, the US Navy began developing the first unmanned aircraft vehicals that were radio-controlled. They successfully created the Curtiss N2C-2 drone in 1937. The first model was not a drone, but was a normal aircraft. By the late 1930s, surviving N2Cs were modified with tricycle landing gear and turned into radio-controlled drones used as targets for anti-aircraft gunners.
benefits: the drone development was increased and is now controlled with a more effective way than before which was launched from catapults or guiding rails. once again a more effective way of controlling UAV's have been invented.
