National Academy Of Sciences Calls On NASA, FAA Industry And Academia To Address Issues
NASA should collaborate with the FAA, industry, academia to research the full effects that increased unpiloted air vehicle traffic would have on society, including ramifications to sound, privacy, environmental matters, and cybersecurity, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The increasingly common use of electric and hybrid aircraft for urban, suburban, and rural operations — referred to as advanced aerial mobility — promises to change the way that people and cargo are moved.
