And do you think that somebody who packs his drone with C4 and aims it at passenger aircraft is going to care if he is violating a flightpath? Forbidden is not

And do you think that somebody who packs his drone with C4 and aims it at passenger aircraft is going to care if he is violating a flightpath? Forbidden is not the same as impossible.
- Avshalom 10y agoRight but 'it is illegal to put a drone in this airspace' gives us permission to shoot down anything in a flight path before impact, including the ones with C4.
- arjie 10y agoWhat weapons does one use to shoot down a toy drone? You can't miss because on the other side, there are people, and if it hits, it shouldn't lead to dangerous parts all over the runway.
- Avshalom 10y agoI think right now the idea is generally a bigger faster one with a net.
- arjie 10y agoThat's a clever one. More importantly, it makes for an amusing picture.
- etherael 10y agoI've seen that, but wouldn't a laser actually be more reliable / faster?
- Avshalom 10y agoWell like arjie said, you don't really want flying debris near people/runways
- etherael 10y agoAnd maybe the energy necessary to actually vaporise entirely would not be the kind of thing one would be wanting to punch up into the atmosphere willy nilly.
- Piskvorrr 10y agoNot to mention that you actually need an actual cannon, not a pointer. http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/feature/5/159975/2015-ushers-in-era-of-laser-weapons.html http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/feature/5/159... Yup, that's definitely something you want to mess with around an airport. "Wait, I was supposed to shoot down that other blip?"
