图片中的无人机发展史We think of drones as a modern invention, but they've been part of warfare for longer than you think. Here's a look at the evolution of drones and the way they've changed how war works.我们都把无人机当做是现代的新发明，但它们参战的历史可是远比你想象得要长。以下展现的就是无人机的演进发展历史，以及它们是如何改变战争方式的。=700)

But it was a time of stunning innovation. In 1917, Peter Cooper and Elmer A. Sperry invented the first automatic gyroscopic stabilizer, which straightens and levels out aircraft during flight, and unmanned flight was

born. The new technology was used to convert a U.S.

Navy Curtiss N-9 trainer aircraft into the first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), controlled by radio. For 50 miles in test flights, the Sperry Aerial Torpedo flew with a

300-pound bomb, but it was never used in combat. 动力飞行器直到一战末期时仍然处于其婴儿期：莱特兄弟驾着他们那原始的双翼机飞过北卡罗来纳州基蒂霍克的沙丘也不过

是十年之前的事儿。但这同样是一个充斥着奇妙发明的时代。1917年，彼得.库伯和艾尔姆.A.斯皮里发明了第一台自动陀螺稳定仪，该装置可以帮助飞机在飞行时保持平直向前，无人飞行从此诞生了。美国海军采用了这一新技术，将他们的一架柯蒂斯N-9式教练机改装成了世界上第一架无人飞行载具（UAV）——当时是用无线电波来控制的。斯皮里“空中鱼雷”式在飞行测试中挂载一枚300磅重的炸弹飞行了50英里，但它却从来没有参加过战斗。=700)

"Kettering Bug," cost $400 in 1917 and could haul 300 pounds. General Motors' Charles F. Kettering, who designed the Bug, crafted it to launch from a trolley with rolling wheels and gave it detachable wings. Toward the end of World War I, the U.S. military placed orders for large shipments of Kettering Bugs, but the war ended before they were used. 凯特林“空中鱼雷”式也被昵称为“凯特林小飞虫”，这种木制飞机在1917年的造价为400美元，载重为300磅。这种“小虫”由通用公司的查尔斯.F.凯特林设计，飞机配有可拆卸机翼，并且可以从自带滚轮的小车上起飞。到一战末期时，美国军方为“凯特林小飞虫”下了大批订单，但还未来得及投入使用，战争就已经结束了。=700) window.open('/DownloadImg/2 012/09/1920/27037544_3.jpg');" border="0"

With the invention of the Queen Bee, drones could return to their senders, making them significantly more practical. Peaking at 17,000 feet and
