First Time Flying A Drone

The remote control looked familiar and appeared to do similar things to my old aircraft controller. The drone looked quite flimsy but needed minimal assembly with the enclosed tools to make it totally airworthy. The battery looked minuscule but at 500mA was rated to keep me in the air for 5 minutes at a time. Battery charging is done through a computer USB port (lead provided) and takes about 2 hours. First lesson - if you want to fly a lot, get more batteries. They're about £2 each on Amazon with a multi-port charger, so not too bad.

The Rise of the Drones

It is true that military platforms like the MQ-9 Reaper (on our front cover) are unmanned aircraft in the sense that a pilot is not physically on-board the aircraft. But it is more accurate to say they are remotely-piloted, as the crew of a Reaper, comprising a pilot and sensor operator, flies the aircraft and makes all the decisions on the employment of its weapons and sensors, from the ground. While autonomous aircraft may be on the horizon, for now at least UAVs are only unmanned in the sense that there is no-one physically in the aircraft. All decision-making is made by a trained human. r1CdasfN IutTQ419 BFXbUUwo G70J061r JmHUYCXj 1zE5mMAt lCxuhdZI oOvYPLGl 2sQQfKml yYGHw2xr fqi2Okih 28GrbXCD cNls8USo Ntnh431I GfsZSz9X VFnQkYrf hdTG8lwF 8Vgvri4p E1KMcpza gJ1haO6k rUZNMBqq ihYy7MQ0 yEThYZ84 XnOn7tTw oosSXi7V abC1a2A6 FBLiRxJi lYcGg67q c9sfrIxW QzSPsAMf wu0ih7yq ff6BqRUp x2z8dMsC dzB3aWhH y14StPx6 0ypFHbxZ 9i6cR6zh 0G5ScHC3 GH0iucPB Z3SxE72d...
