Stop treating drones as flying gadgets. Start understanding the engineering behind them.
Drones bring together mechanical systems, electronics, embedded computing, sensors, software, communications, and control theory in one remarkable platform. But building an autonomous UAV requires more than assembling a frame and installing a flight controller—it requires understanding how all these systems work together.
Drone Engineering from Scratch provides a practical introduction to the engineering principles, tools, and workflows used to design, build, program, simulate, and develop autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles.
Rather than focusing on a single drone model or a narrow software tool, this book takes a broader engineering approach. You will explore how UAV components interact, how flight-control systems operate, how software communicates with a drone, and how programming and robotics technologies can be combined to create autonomous capabilities.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
-
Understand UAV architectures, components, and system design
-
Select and integrate essential drone hardware
-
Explore motors, ESCs, batteries, sensors, and flight controllers
-
Understand the fundamentals of flight control and autonomous navigation
-
Use Python to develop UAV applications and automation
-
Work with robotics tools and communication interfaces
-
Integrate sensors and telemetry into UAV systems
-
Develop autonomous missions and navigation workflows
-
Use simulation to test UAV applications before physical flight
-
Understand the role of companion computers in autonomous drones
-
Design practical UAV projects from concept to implementation
-
Troubleshoot common hardware and software integration problems
Whether you're a developer entering aerial robotics, an engineering student, a hobbyist moving beyond commercial drones, or a professional looking to strengthen your UAV development skills, this book provides a structured foundation for understanding the complete drone engineering lifecycle.
Drone Engineering from Scratch is the starting point for readers who want to move beyond simply operating drones and begin understanding how autonomous UAV systems are actually engineered.
Build the foundation. Understand the systems. Start engineering autonomous UAVs.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
