Why a "Drone" is a Drone

I quote from http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/150948/the-drone-as-autonomous-vehicle:

"In 1935, U.S. Adm. William H. Standley saw a British demonstration of the Royal Navy's new remote-control aircraft for target practice, the DH 82B Queen Bee. Back stateside, Standley charged Commander Delmer Fahrney with developing something similar for the Navy. "Fahrney adopted the name 'drone' to refer to these aircraft in homage to the Queen Bee," Mr. Zaloga wrote. The term fit, as a drone could only function when controlled by an operator on the ground or in a "mother" plane.

During World War II, the Army and Navy stepped up production of "target drones" for practice and "assault drones" for combat. One pioneer in the field was the British actor Reginald Denny, whose model-plane hobby led him to found the Radioplane Company. The Army placed orders for Denny's DENN +1.43% creation, which it called the OQ-2. The Navy had its own contract and called the vehicle the TDD-1, short for "Target Drone Denny 1."

I guess that explains the name.

DRONE? we should not support such articles or video guys its very terrible for our hobby.

Recently i was called by DC of custom (Mumbai Air Cargo) where he doubted about the CX20, he thought that the drone shown in the pizza ad and this was same and hence he said that its dangerous as it can go long distance.

And it was really very difficult to explain such things to people who are not very well infromed about these models. He kept saying this drone can do this and that. I always kept saying that this is not a drone its just a hobby grade model. It cannot fly for more than 10 mins drone fly for days and between countries.

Nothing against chintal or anyone who liked this ad but i am just not happy that we are supporting these things. I know the video is showing in positive sense but officials will not take this in a positive way.

BTW: my CX20 is still with custom where they have sent one sample to Delhi to test the capability of the model 
Lets be responsible towards our hobby.

i dont like the ad i like the idea satya ji
air cargo should be the last choice....

@rcnitesh the same way that i know the flight time of kraken

sir are you talking about  kraken the flying wing  with airsoft gun. I am a big fan of it.

No I think he means the Kraken Octocopter. See this: http://www.rcindia.org/rc-events/meet-up-in-mumbai/msg174036/#msg174036

@SK, yeah , He meant Kraken octa itself
@Tanmay, haven't heard from you a while, how is it goin' ?

Yup the octo itself

Guys,peoples perceptions of our hobbies are really going to a  different league.they are starting to believe it as dangerous drone like bomb carrying machine which is not safe for humanity,so rather than being amazed they look at it in a suspicious way

it is not a drone (talking drone) . it is just a hexacopter.. we should not promote these type of advertisement.

This ad developed a sense in common people that, making these type of rotor crafts need a lot of calculations and engineering - which we know is foolishness .
Many people on seeing my quad ask me whether I got the Idea from the Idea ad

ha ha ha @sooraj you are totally correct people think it has to be fully  aerodynamic or else it wont fly.they began to think as if we are genius ha ha

Same here. From the day I built my plane my friends and my relatives think that I am a genius. One of my father's friend even told me to go the pilots route in the future lol.
