The paper describes major features of an unmanned aerial vehicle, designed under safety and performance requirements for missions of aerial photography and remote sensing in precision agriculture. Unmanned aerial vehicles have vast potential as observation and data gathering platforms for a wide variety of applications. The goal of the project was to develop a small, low cost, electrically powered, unmanned aerial vehicle designed in conjunction with a payload of imaging equipment to obtain remote sensing images of agricultural fields. The results indicate that this concept was feasible in obtaining high quality aerial images
