Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Are we working to ensure that regulations are balanced to ensure that innovation and growth continues, but public safety is at the forefront? At one point, many thought of drones as either a hobbyist’s tool for capturing images or as a sophisticated military technology. We know that drone technologies are improving at a rapid pace. Today, we have big tech companies investigating and investing in future drone-delivery services, drones are putting on light shows at events, precision agriculture is aided by drone use, and drones are putting eyes in places difficult for people to get to so safety checks can occur more frequently."
