Commercial Drones

For many years drones were utilized by US military for surveillance purposes, now they are quickly proliferating in entertainment, journalism, agriculture, and yet to begin a new era in commerce. In March of 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted permission to Amazon.com to run trials on using drones for delivering small packages to the recipients' door.

The initial program testing will be going for 18 months, which requires the unmanned aircraft to be no greater than 55 lbs of empty weight. The drones will be operated by 2 licensed pilots at 400 ft or lower, and they can not come closer than 500 ft to any living beings or buildings. 

The size of packages, nor the weight of carriage has been established yet.

Even though there are lots of mixed emotions going on among the locals, who are concerned about safety and privacy, or any possible damages this high-tech implementation might incline, battery and solar operated drones are environmentally a better solution. 

For any of our international online shoppers, we are suggesting to check out UAV-America, a local American manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Their products cover a broad range of specializations.
