A pilotless aircraft is called a drone.
A drone does is not necessarily armed with a missile. It can be used as a missile target, or for reconaissance without risking the life of a pilot. Drones armed with long range interception missiles like the Sparrow might be useful for air defense, but they would probably fail as fighters because reaction times are measured in fractions of seconds. It takes more time for a drone to receive a radio signal which is also vulnerable to ECM interferance, and a computer cannot yet take the place of a human pilot. There is probably work being done with missile armed drones somewhere in the world, but this contributor is unfamiliar with it.

There were 3 Golf Wars, which one?
No, that was the idea. On 6 August 1945, a number of eyes in the Japanese city of Hiroshima turned skyward at the drone of a US B-29 bomber flying across the cloudless sky, accompanied by two other aircraft. Their arrival was not a surprise; the early warning radar net had detected the incoming planes and an air-raid alert had been issued for the city. But soon the Japanese military realized that only three planes were incoming, and the alert was lifted. The anti-aircraft guns sat silent, and the fighter planes lingered in their hangars. A mere three planes were considered incapable of posing a significant threat, so it was presumed that these craft were weather planes.
..there weren't any people on so called 'flight 93' ..it was a large scale drone aircraft. (That is why this is the only answer here)
A pilotless aircraft is called a drone.
A drone is a pilotless aircraft sent to take photographs of enemy positions.

An unmanned aircraft, or a "drone," is an aircraft that is not controlled by a pilot in the aircraft itself, but by an onboard computer that is directed remotely over a great distance. As the technology advances, the autonomy (meaning decisions made by the drone computers) increases.
In "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, the unidentified aircraft was a drone used to surveil the community. It was against the rules for the citizens to acknowledge the presence of the drone or inquire about its purpose.
These are the attacks carried out by a drone (an unmanned military aircraft) generally by US military against terrorist camps / shelters.
Drones are officially well-known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Basically, a drone is a flying machine. The Drone may be remotely controlled or can fly unconventionally through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with GPS. UAV, is preprogrammed prior to flight to do a specific set of tasks on a specific flight path.

Drone planes are usually piloted by a person on the ground. The drone will normally have a built-in camera so the operator can see what's ahead of the aircraft. Think of it as someone flying a model airplane - the principle is exactly the same.
A Predator drone can best be described as an unmanned aircraft. It is mainly used by the United States Air Force for surveillance, intelligence gathering, search and rescue and precision strikes.
Very few since the drones are a very.popular item that is sold in many stores.
