There appears to be no limit to the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles, better known as drones, with technology pushing them to achieve feats few would have thought possible a decade or so ago. NASA’s propulsion laboratory, have joined forces with WHOI – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution – to design and build a drone that could set the new standard for deep sea exploration.
In recent years, typhoons, hurricanes, floods and earthquake disaster zones the world over, have all benefitted from the use of UAV’s, otherwise known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones. Their increased use for humanitarian purposes has seen the United Nations stepping in to create an official policy brief, outlining how they should be used safely and responsibly for disaster response purposes, and several other organizations such as UAViators and OSHA, have collaborated to explore how drones can be most effectively employed in disaster zones.
Advances in technology are happening every day, and while these are often extremely useful for public services such as law enforcement, they also come with a series of sometimes complex, legal issues. Many of these issues have since raised the question as to whether existing rules of law need to be changed or updated to remain relevant. Where unmanned aerial vehicles are concerned – otherwise known as drones – never has this question been more pertinent.
Many companies are working hard on new drone applications to enable them to be incorporated into our home surveillance systems, or indeed, to have them be used as the sole security system in modern homes. There are of course many challenges facing such companies, but a few of those who are making headway have come up with some innovative and exciting new drone security systems:
Have you heard that drone pilots can make anything upward of $25 an hour and want your own slice of the drone pie? In fact, depending on their experience level and quality of work, some pilots can earn up to $250 an hour, making it an exciting and potentially fruitful career move.
The need for speed when transporting medical supplies should never be underestimated; medical supplies need to be as fresh as possible and often need to arrive at the scene in a matter of minutes for a patient’s life to be saved. Drones are increasingly being used for delivering products not exceeding a certain weight, and there were dramatic scenes recently in the U.S. state of Maryland when a drone was used to deliver a kidney from one neighbourhood of Baltimore to another.
A US department drone pilot recently used a quadcopter to take aerial images of Lake Michigan’s coastline to monitor erosion on the shore, when a series of warnings in quick succession, flashed up ominously on his handset. One of the warnings told him that a propeller had come off the drone, and when he looked at live images of the drone camera on his iPad, he watched in horror as it began spiraling dramatically downward. As he glanced up and away from the screen, the drone had disappeared from view, and all that could be seen in the skies where it once flew, was a huge bald eagle, soaring away.
Super storms are raging across the world, and with hundreds of billions of dollars of damage to homes across parts of America, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands of late, assessing the damage these storms have wreaked, is proving big business for drone companies.
Drones have truly changed some of our lives, such as for filmmakers, who are now able to capture dramatic sequences for their movies without the major cost of a helicopter, or rescue organisations who use drones to help them spot people in need and bring them to safety. However, there is no doubt that drones can be used for erroneous purposes, too; here are a few ways in which UAV’s can be (and have been) used as tools for criminals:
Being temporarily grounded as a drone operator is one thing, but not being able to leave your home with your drone, that’s another thing entirely! That said, most drone users are a creative bunch, used to thinking outside of the box, and they have doubtless been busy trying to think of ways to stay positive and remain creative until better times appear on the horizon.
Biometric designs being used for the creation of drones may not be anything new within the industry, and nature is often used as the inspiration and even the template, for some unmanned aerial vehicles, but China’s new Dove drone may just be something we’ve never seen before.
You may not have realised that it’s even become a problem, but clearly some countries are facing an unwanted epidemic of drunken drone operators, and in Japan, politicians have taken matters into their hands by issuing a blanket ban on drone flying while under the influence of alcohol.
Lockdown has been (and continues to be) an essential but frustrating restriction placed upon us all, and while some industries, governments and health officials have been using drones in a variety of unique and useful ways during the pandemic, recreational drone pilots have been forced to find new and highly creative ways of getting some flying time in.
Ever since drones began to be used for purposes outside of warfare, there has been panic among some who believe that these unmanned aerial vehicles will begin taking our jobs from us…but is this panic justified?
Unmanned aerial vehicles have been used more and more commonly as filmmaking tools over the past decade predominantly due to their lower cost of operation than a full sized helicopter and their reliability. Before drones were invented, even the simplest of aerial photography wasn’t an option for most filmmakers on lower budgets, since helicopters were, as you can imagine, out of many indie filmmakers’s grasps.
As frightening a thought as it may be to many, a drone designed for use in warfare with mass killing capabilities may one day be available thanks to advances in technology. A recent video created by those who are pushing for a ban on autonomous weapons, depicts innocent civilians being slaughtered by a swarm of killer drones. Entitled ‘slaughterbots’, the video has gained worldwide attention and has certainly bolstered the argument against the use of such weapons in warfare (or in any circumstances), but just how realistic is this?
Drones being used to deliver packages to homes and businesses is probably the one way that all of us will have some exposure to unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAV’s, if we don’t use them recreationally. Public opinion about this subject has always been varied, but recent polls have suggested that many of the public do not support them and their use for such a purpose, but why? Could it be misinformation, resistance to change, or perhaps both?
It seems as if drones are just getting techier and techier, and that the limits for refining and improving them are endless. One of the latest new inventions for drones are landing structures, giving them the ability to perch on structures mid-way through flight.
It may feel as if the world has gone mad in its response to COVID-19, but there can be no doubt that it is now spreading in pandemic proportions and detecting and containing it is our best line of defence. Some of the greatest tech minds are currently experimenting with drones to see if they can be used to detect the virus and help prevent its’ spread:
Disruption at one of the UK’s busiest airports, Gatwick, over the festive period, was caused by multiple drone sightings which led to a complete shutdown of flights both in and outbound. Approximately 1,000 flights were affected, causing chaos, misery and disappointment for thousands of passengers. The chaos was compounded by the incident happening so close to the run up to Christmas; the airport was forced to close between December 19 and 21st, and few could have imagined what problems such a careless act could create for so many people.
If you’re looking for a new and innovative way to start a business or earn a better wage, then the chances are that you couldn’t have failed to notice how drones have whizzed in and taken over the job market; however, to really immerse yourself in the drone industry, you will need to be qualified and invest a certain amount of money from the get go.

There may be a long list of rules for operating drones that weigh less than 55 pounds, but becoming a commercial drone operator, or pilot, is now quite straightforward. You must be at least 16 years of age, and you are required to pass a 50 question multiple choice exam administered by an FAA approved testing center, but provided you meet both requirements, you’ll be awarded your FAA Part 107 commercial Drone License and can legally begin to fly for as a registered commercial drone pilot.
Nobody expects you to fly your newly purchased drone expertly on your first attempt, and most people improve with practice. However, since most recreational drones don’t come with a set of rules or guidelines for piloting them, you’d be wise to exercise caution when flying one for the first time.
Flight control technology is getting more and more advanced, and the potential for drones to be used for many different purposes, is growing just as fast. Only recently, drones have been used in Australia for purposes far beyond their original intention; no longer are these unmanned aerial vehicles being used solely for help on the modern battlefield, or as mere recreational toys.
For those nervous fliers among us, when the plane begins to make its final descent, we tend to relax a little and believe that nothing could possibly go wrong at this stage. However, with more and more drones being flown recreationally (and sometimes to cause intentional disruption, allegedly), there is always the possibility that one of these tiny but potentially hazardous flying objects can hit a plane and disrupt its descent.
There seems to be an unending variety of constructive uses for drones, and they continue to be one of the most remarkable inventions of modern times. Whether they’re used for military purposes – as they were initially designed for – or for humanitarian purposes, the question remains:
Hollywood has long been keen to employ the use of drones to help filmmakers create scenes that push creative boundaries, and to give movie goers a brand new, thrilling experience. Not only that, but their use could save movie makers real bucks and even increase the safety aspect of sets.
Drones are becoming increasingly more available to members of the public, and with the frequency that pilots are reporting drone sightings, it’s safe to say that for the FAA, this presents all kinds of potential problems. Photographers, farmers, utility companies and large online retail groups are all getting in on the action, and with thousands of low flying unmanned aircrafts zipping through the skies, someone had to come up with a solution to all the potential problems that this presented.
Pan and Scan from the sky when you walk, talk, smile and pop out of the car. Yes, it’s really possible with a drone service. A consolidation of technologies by some brilliant minds gave birth to flying photography using a drone camera.
The popular fund-raising platform, Kickstarter, was recently taken to by a French inventor seeking to raise funds to help construct and sell a drone called the Metafly. The drone design was inspired by winged insects, and with nearly 2,000 people pledging funds to help enable the drone to be sold on the market, its popularity is set to rise.
Drones are becoming increasingly popular for a whole range of commercial activities, nowadays, and there is huge potential for them to change our lives.
For some, drones and where they can and cannot be flown is a contentious issue, and one not without controversy. Take the case of an American chicken farmer way back in 1942, who sued the U.S. government for flying military aircraft on a runway close to his farm; the farmer claimed that the flights were scaring his poultry and damaging his livelihood, and he wanted compensation. Somewhat surprisingly perhaps, his case made it to the Supreme Court in 1946 and as a direct result, the Court set the limits of private airspace: if you’re a property owner then your property rights go all the way up to 83 feet in the air. In fact, to this day, this remains the only clear federal statement of law as to how far above your property should legal ownership end.
It’s fair to say that one of the most exciting and innovative inventions to have come out of the modern era are drones. More and more of them are being bought and flown every single year, and as technology advances, their capabilities seem to know no bounds. With new ways of flying them, ultra HD cameras and batteries with ever increasing lifespans, todays unmanned aerial vehicles are truly incredible. However, some of them (if not most of them), are noisy and that annoying buzz can be hard to ignore; others in the vicinity when they’re being flown might even be driven to register a complaint. So, can anything be done to eliminate or reduce that annoying buzz from the rotors, engines and electronic parts?

Drones entered the sporting arena a few years back, and as technology advances, the opportunities for expanding their use within the field of e-sports, looks set to speed up and really take off. Pardon the pun.
Tech toys tend to bring out the excitable boy in even the most grown up of men, and this year, there is a gift that will be sure to revive memories of their lost childhood and rekindle their desires for fun and adventure; the drone, or to give it its full and official name: the UAV or unmanned aerial vehicle.
The environmental group Greenpeace hit the news recently when they flew a drone shaped and designed to look like Superman, straight into the wall of a French nuclear power plant. In a deliberate attempt to draw attention to the vulnerability of the power plant, an activist from Greenpeace piloted the drone into the no-fly zone around the French utility company EDF’s nuclear power plant near Lyon, and then proceeded to fly the UAV into the wall of the spent-fuel pool building at the site.
Drones are often the subject of negative PR in the news, but despite this, some major news organizations are in fact responsible for helping to promote drones and are encouraging the industry to grow. Below are just a few of the ways in which this has happened:
Drones are now part and parcel of modern life, and while most of us don’t necessarily see, or interact with them regularly, we are aware of their continued existence and we know that they are here to stay. But could they pose a real and genuine threat to our security, or are they just fantastic new flying robots that make our lives easier and give us access to places that were once only accessible by helicopter or aeroplane?
For those of you who are new to the world of drones…where have you been?! Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, have taken oven the recreational world and are already being used in many industries, such as e-commerce, real estate and movie making to name but a few.
Thousands of new commercial drone operators are expected to continue entering the US job market, and the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), predict that almost all these will be small businesses. With the industry suddenly being flooded with new operators, it’s going to be hard for these new drone businesses to stand out from the crowd, even if they have extensive flight experience and an FAA certificate. Regardless, if you’re interested in starting a career in the drone industry, what skills will you need?
It’s not a secret anymore, drones are here and they’re here to stay only now they come in all shapes and sizes and have far more capabilities than anyone ever anticipated. More specifically, there’s now a new solar powered drone that takes off like a helicopter and, once at a safe altitude, has wings that fold out as it zips away like an airplane.

UAV’s (unmanned aerial vehicles) or drones, as they’re more commonly known as, were initially been best known for their military use and intelligence applications, such as for aerial surveillance and targeted assassinations. Cheaper than standard military aircraft and able to be piloted remotely, it’s easy to see why they were deployed for such purposes.
The drone industry is continually expanding, and the FAA predict that the market for commercial drones will triple between now and 2023. With many hobby and business opportunities available for drone enthusiasts, you might be tempted to join the many millions of people who own one and go out and get one for yourself. However, before you do, you might want to check out the following things:
Drones could soon be appearing on the birthday and seasonal gift wish lists of kids and adults all over the US, but before you buy one for yourself or as a gift, here are a few simple facts you should be aware of:
