If you imagine how a helicopter takes off, hovers, and moves through the air, a drone behaves similarly:

• Takeoff: Helicopters and drones both need vertical lift to rise off the ground. Pushing the throttle up on a drone works just like a helicopter’s rotor, which spins faster to gain height.
• Hovering: Both drones and helicopters can hover in one spot, which requires precise control over the throttle. Staying in the air without moving in any direction is a key skill for both.
• Yaw and Turning: Helicopters can rotate on their axis to change direction, just like your drone can rotate in the air to face a new direction.
