Abstract
The turn of the 20th and 21st century was the time of flourishing of many modern technologies, among which was the popularisation of unmanned aviation in civil applications. This article aims to presentation of the genesis of this technology and the opportunities, which it offers in the context of people with disabilities. This paper is a synthesis of scholar literature of the research subject, legal regulations on international and national levels, as well as the author’s own reflections on the ways, in which drones can be used for the needs of people with disabilities in the context of contemporary law and its possible changes.
