OpenDroneList

OpenDroneList is a public open-source community-driven list of drones and their common properties.

What is OpenDroneList good for?

Thanks to various output formats, including the human-readable HTML table, or computer-readable CSV, JSONs and others, the list can be used for developing your own applications or to use for your data analysis or other projects.

We, authors, use opendronelist in many systems and user interfaces requiring the same or similar data — for example when you pick pre-defined drone in our mobile app or when using Dronald, we always query the latest data from the opendronelist to show a list of known drones and their properties.

  • The commercial name of the drone
• Class
  • UAV Class label designated for the drone (labels such as C0, C1, ...)

• Max. takeoff weight

  • Usually used to determine the drone's weight category

• Has Camera?
