Abstract

The paper relevance is determined by the research of unmanned aircraft, engines and fuel for them. Current functional methods of classifying unmanned drones for military and security purposes are reviewed. The classification of unmanned vehicles with organizational and technical marks is shown. The division into homogeneous and heterogeneous is consid-ered. It is shown that the classification of fuels by structure is divided into nitrocellulose, mix-ture, modified. The principles of engine timing schemes are reviewed. It is shown that charges made from mixture solid rocket fuel can be used in two variants: with an insert charge and with a charge bonded to the body. The research aim is current state analysis of drones, en-gines and fuel for unmanned vehicles.
