Bugün öğrendim ki: Amerika'nın I. Dünya Savaşı sırasında drone uçak teknolojisi geliştirdiğini öğrendim. Kettering Bug, günümüz seyir füzelerinin öncüsü olan deneysel bir insansız çift kanatlı, hava drone torpidoydu. İlk olarak 103 yıl önce 2 Ekim 1918'de test edildi.

It was capable of striking ground targets up to 121 kilometers (75 mi) from its launch point, while traveling at speeds of 80 kilometers per hour (50 mph).[1] The Bug's costly design and operation inspired Dr. Henry W. Walden to create a rocket that would allow a pilot to control the rocket after launch with the use of radio waves.[2] The [British radio controlled weapons of 1917](/wiki/British_unmanned_aerial_vehicles_of_World_War_I "British unmanned aerial vehicles of World War I") were secret at this time. These designs were forerunners of modern-day missiles.
