How is this a drone if the pilot is on board?

• qup 3y ago
  In the RC community, "drone" is the new word for "multirotor", "quadcopter" etc. There was a push, years back, to not use the word, but eventually everyone caved. This thing is just a beefcake of a quadcopter, sorta, so I'm not surprised to see that word thrown around. Also, the company doesn't seem to use that word on the homepage, at least.

  > How is this a drone if the pilot is on board? Its remote controlled as well as being locally piloted. Its a drone that happens to also have local controls. “Every second of your flight is monitored by our highly trained and licensed primary and secondary flight controllers, with whom you’ll have radio communication who and can take over remote control of your aircraft at any time, if necessary.”

  Language is an always evolving thing. It looks like a (huge) drone so it's called a drone.

  Is a hacker a person who makes furniture with an axe, a competent and curious programmer, or a nefarious nogoodnik?
