Manned Aerial Vehicles
Manned Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are aircraft designed to carry human pilots, enabling direct, controlled flight. They include airplanes, helicopters, and other craft with onboard crew who operate and navigate them. MAVs are used for transportation, surveillance, rescue missions, and aerial photography. Their design combines aerodynamics, propulsion, and control systems to allow safe, efficient travel through the air. Unlike drones or unmanned aircraft, MAVs require pilots to manage navigation and operation in real-time, providing flexibility and responsiveness for various practical applications.
