While the future of drones is still uncertain, recent headlines show mixed signals. Bloomberg reported in August, that the drone craze had begun to fade with many startups going out of business. However, other news sources claim that the drone market is poised to grow. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs claim that the drone industry is expected to be worth over $100 Billion by 2020, and $1.5 TILLION by 2040. But what about the actual picture?
Commercial applications
There are many commercial uses of drones. Drones are increasingly being used for filming and production of television. Professional drones are becoming an essential part of filmmaking due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of use. Client demand will drive the growth of aerial photography.
Safety in airspace
Federal Aviation Administration has published a Report on Future of Drones (FAA report) and Airspace Safety. The report highlights the potential advantages of drones and highlights industry challenges in integrating them into existing aviation. Drones will be able to identify and mitigate known and emerging risks automatically. Pilots of drones for non-recreational purposes must be familiar with proper flight procedures, and must have a good visual range.
Management of air traffic
Drones have quickly become a common sight over our skies. And air traffic management is an essential component to their success. Currently, thousands of manned aircraft share the skies at any one time, but as drones become more common, so too will the number of flights. Unmanned aircraft are increasing in number and air traffic management is not able to keep up. The future of drone traffic control depends on integrating several solutions.
Forecasting the air traffic
Drones are already permitted to fly in the lowest few hundred feet of the atmosphere, but the forecasting of weather conditions could make them more effective in the future. This information could be used in improving weather alert systems or to deliver packages. Drones could be used to improve weather forecasts as well as alert systems for severe weather. Air traffic forecasting is currently limited to two dimensions. But, drones can provide valuable weather data that will greatly enhance the airspace intelligence.
Control of air traffic
Future of Drones and Air Traffic Control. The future of aviation traffic control depends on the availability of drones, hovering warehouses and delivery systems. The development of drone technology means that authorities will need a new low level air traffic system. It may be more complicated than the air traffic systems for planes. Drones would use artificial intelligence and machine learning to avoid other airplanes and stay in designated air lanes.
FAQ
Is drone regulation regulated by the FAA
The FAA oversees all aspects regarding drone operations, including safety standards and certification requirements.
How can I keep drones out of my house?
Drones have become increasingly popular for home surveillance. But they also pose a security threat to privacy. You can prevent drone attacks by installing motion sensors around your home and using them to detect any unauthorised flying objects.
How high can you fly a drone without a license?
The FAA has no limits on the maximum height a drone can fly. However, you must register your unmanned aircraft system (UAS), which includes the registration numbers, model name and weight, size, serialnum, manufacturer's name and date manufactured.
Is it against the law to fly a helicopter?
Yes, it is illegal to fly drones in some countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand. It is however legal in many other countries such as France.
Which drone is best for beginners?
The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ is a popular beginner drone. This model comes equipped with a 4K camera, which allows you to take high-quality aerial photos and videos. Its GPS system makes it easy to navigate the drone.
Can I fly my drone at my local park?
Yes, drones can be flown in parks around the world. Safety concerns mean that not all countries allow drones to be flown in parks. Check out our list of places where you can legally fly drones for fun.
Can I fly my drone indoors
Yes, you can fly your drone indoors. It is important to make sure there are no hazards or obstacles in your home. For instance, avoid flying near windows and doors, heating vents, heating units, air conditioning units, electrical outlets or water pipes.

How To
How do I clean my drones?
These are some tips to help you clean your drone. This guide will teach you how to extract every bit from your drone.
-
Be sure to have all the tools you need. Make sure that you have all the tools you need before you begin anything. A toothbrush or soft brush is necessary, as well as a cleaning solution (we recommend the use of WD40).
-
The battery pack should be removed. The first thing you need to do is remove the battery from the drone's bottom. It is often easy to find the battery beneath the propeller. Be careful not to loose screws during removal.
-
Remove all pieces. Next, take out all the parts on the drone's bottom. Make sure they're not loose or damaged as they might fall off during cleaning.
-
Use a cleaning product. Now it is time to clean the drone. We recommend using WD40 for cleaning. Simply spray the entire surface of your drone with the cleaner, making sure to get in between each component. Let it dry completely before you put everything back together.
-
Install the battery. Once you have cleaned the drone, make sure to put it back in its place. So you can check the performance of your drone after cleaning it.
