Create an app that will enable small drone operators to know more about specific weather parameters, local terrain and no fly zones within a five-mile radius of their GPS location.

Explanation

With the help of our application, we can protect the drone from potential accidents or crashing. Our application considers various parameters, such as weather, terrain, no fly zones within a five mile radius of the current location of the drone.
