THE DRONES ARE COMING! The FAA is busy drawing up regulations to govern the coming swarm of drones flying within the National Airspace system: operator certification (there will be many commercial uses for drones, including aerial photography); integration of drones into the Air Traffic Control system (operators will be required to fly flight plans and communicate with ATC when flying in controlled air space), etc. Even small, lightweight drones will have many uses (there are videos on the internet of quadrotor drones flying along the grand canyon and other places, controlled by radio, their operators using special goggles that give them a drones-eye view from a camera on the aircraft. (based on article in Popular Mechanics, September, 2013, "Good Drone, Bad Drone: Robot Aircraft Can Catch Criminals--or Invade Your Privacy: What You Need to Know About the Swarm coming to U.S. Skies."
