In this article, the use of piezoelectric nanogenerators in monitoring the status of UAVs was investigated. The presented condition monitoring system was based on the application of a piezoelectric nanogenerator on the arm of a multi-motor agricultural spraying UAV. After preparing the nanogenerator, it was installed on a UAV arm. The vibration spectrum of the UAV was obtained and analyzed in three states: take off, hover and sit. The results showed that light and flexible nano-piezoelectrics can be used in the sensors used to monitor the status of UAVs and also in the composition of the structure of various components of multi-engine UAVs.
