This paper aims to review the coverage rate of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for different application scenarios. With the continuous development of science and technology, UAV technology has become an important tool widely used in military, civil and other fields. In these various applications, the coverage capability of UAVs is a key factor. This review will introduce the concept of UAV coverage capability and its performance in different applications, and discuss the factors affecting UAV coverage capability. Through the collation and analysis of relevant literature, this review will provide readers with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding to guide practical applications and research directions.
