Uncrewed, remotely piloted or autonomous aircraft used for reconnaissance, delivery, surveillance, or environmental interaction. In a frontier context, they are the eyes, ears, and hands of the remote operator, capable of navigating treacherous or inaccessible terrain. Advanced models may be self-charging via solar power, operate in swarms, carry specialized sensor packages (lidar, spectrometers), or even be equipped for light construction or sample retrieval. They are force multipliers for small teams on vast, unknown landscapes.

Aerial Drones Example: A planetary geologist on an alien world deploying a silent, ducted-fan Aerial Drone to map the sheer cliff face of a canyon for stratigraphic layers, collect gas samples from a volcanic fumarole, or scout a safe path through unstable terrain, all from the safety of their hab-rover.

Low aerial

When you fly across the map using all your boost staying low to the ground without a purpose in the game Rocket League. Invented by RobinRobot.

RobinRobot missed the ball again using all his boost, what a great low aerial!

Raccoon Aerial

When fat girls on myspace take pictures of themselves from above to try and hide their enormous weight while wearing a lot of eye makeup to take attention away from their bodies giving them the appearance of a raccoon. Could also include vast amounts of cleavage as another distraction.

There sure are a lot of fat skanks on myspace posting raccoon aerials of themselves.
