FAA report shows spike in drone-related air traffic incidents
There's a reason why unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) aren't permitted to fly beyond 400 feet and within a five-mile radius from airports: they could cause a disaster if they smash a plane's windshield or get sucked into its engine. (www.engadget.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
unfortunately, there is always someone that just cannot resist and do the wrong thing. responsibility is not in their vocabulary, at the cost of someone else's demise or loss of life. needless to say, there are more to come who ignore their responsibility but are usually the first to scream about their "rights". while the drones render some pretty cool utility, the operators in some cases are ignorant, and i agree, not everyone should be punished for the few that have disregard for not only common sense, but also whatever laws will come out of this - hopefully not mass punishment
The agencies like ICAO and FAA should always be forward looking. With ability to foresee. The good or the bad or the ugly !
What may look like toy flying today is bound to become over time wide spread in concept and application. How did we conquer the sky ? Or the space ? What was the type and size of objects that we put in respective spaces at initial stages ? What was the density of flying vehicles in both types of spaces in the earlier stages of development ? Very primitive and low number. And now ? Fairly advanced and high density. And same will be true for drone flying.
Personally, I visualize drone flying as a complementary service to existing commercial flying, both cargo and passenger. Though, in the beginning drones may be limited to carry cargo. Whether it takes 5 years to reach this level or 20 can be matter of priority we humans attach to this area of engineering.
IMHO .

Dear friend Esq , how many gunners and where all will you position such firemen ? Ever thought the epidemic of proliferation of drone applications ?
MHO !
MHO !
Firemen fight fires don't have guns.
Agreed. How about a firing squad ? Ever heard of them and their equipment ?
With lots of regard .

Peter, where is your .22 bullet going if you miss? Shooting at drones is not the answer. I believe most of the expensive ones indicated in the article have an 'autoland' feature if they lose their command link - jam the bandwidth to disrupt the signal and make them land. When on the ground, the authorities just need to wait for the person to show up to collect his or her 'toy' and make an arrest. Drones are only operating in a very narrow frequency range and a directional jammer, aimed at the drone, should be very effective.
