Leonardo has announced the completion of the first delivery of its Falco EVO Remotely-Piloted Air System (RPAS) to its launch customer in the Middle East.
The first of the newly-built aircraft was completed in August with the acceptance test carried out at Leonardo’s RPAS design and construction facility in Ronchi dei Legionary, Italy. DJI is looking to partner with state, local and tribal governments that are applying to take part in the FAA’s recently launched UAS Integration Pilot Program, which will provide opportunities for government and industry to experiment with advanced UAS operations and test new forms of airspace management. Governments that are interested in participating in the UAS Integration Pilot Program have been asked by the FAA to work with UAS operators and manufacturers in their applications to be part of the pilot program. With this in mind, DJI is inviting those governments to consider partnering with DJI, so that the “expertise and collaborative vitality” of their programs can be enhanced. If you're looking for a thriving drone community, look no further than Las Vegas. According to research conducted by
Bard College in New York, the 89117 ZIP code has the largest number of hobbyist drone registrations at 672. The researchers analyzed data from the FAA's registration database. The residential area west of the Strip had about 200 more registered hobby drones than the next-highest ZIP code ... a suburb of Houston, TX.
