The COVID-19 pandemic has caused very serious problems almost to the whole world, so every opportunity must be considered to improve the situation. One such improvement strategy is decontamination carried out from the air. This technique can be considered for surface clearance of larger areas; hence, there is the need to investigate its effectiveness regarding the pandemic. There are many examples of the use of drones for disinfection to improve epidemic situations, but good practices, as well as factors influencing effectiveness, have not yet been identified. In the case of using drones for disinfection during a pandemic, the adapted use of agricultural drones is clear from reports. In this paper, the authors performed calculations with different values of flight speed (10 to 50 km/h), flight altitude (1 to 5 m), and flow rate (1 to 5 L/min) to determine the possible amount of disinfectant fluid per unit area. The results show that by changing the parameters, the amount of disinfectant per unit area can be given within quite wide limits (30–0.24 g/m2). Although the results raise many new questions, they can help to identify adequate flight parameters depending on different disinfectant liquids.
