Since a drone can potentially violate restricted airspace, I could see some regulatory body eventually requiring approval/certification before a drone aircraft can be sold. I can imagine private pilots aren't too keen on running into some out of control flying piece of garbage at a few thousand feet.
- jobigoud 8y ago> requiring approval/certification before a drone aircraft can be sold Drones are like computers, you can buy all the individual parts and build it yourself. They only have a few parts: flight controller, PDB, ESCs, motors, propellers, radio receiver, camera, video transmitter, and a frame to hold everything together. These vendors of cheap drones are just putting them together themselves and add a fancy canopy on top.
- RankingMember 8y agoKit planes are the same way, but they still need to be certified before they can fly.
- DrNuke 8y agoThat’s it. That’s also why DronesBench comes with a novel, single efficiency benchmark for the electro-mechanical compliance of the drone as a system http://www.dronesbench.it/en/fomdrone/ http://www.dronesbench.it/en/fomdrone/ . Just measure it at factory and write it on the plate or stick it somewhere on the frame, then measure again periodically during its operational life: significant decreases express hidden defects, thus becoming a preventive tool for flight safety.
