Drone technology can be one of the most exciting innovation in the 21 century. It is light, small and quiet flying device that can do a lot of job we can't do. Military uses drone to detect and spy, we can use drone for entertainment and it has many different use of drone technology. Drone is equipped with different technology such as infra-red cameras, GPS and laser.
Like its predecessors, remote control helicopters, drone is controlled by remote control system or a ground cockpit, but drones have some level of autonomy — meaning they can fly, hover, or navigate without input from a pilot. People on the ground can control drones like a command line for the program. They input direction and speed and drones accept them and operate accordingly.
While drone technology is developing, its use is not only limited to military. Amazon recently announced that it would launch a delivery system called "Prime Air", designed to safely get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less. It is another new interesting application for the drone technology that brings more convenience to our life.

This is really interesting. I heard about the Amazon drone too and, while I was discussing it with a friend, I thought about the implications that this could have, and whether or not the FAA would allow it.
回复删除I totally agree that "drone technology is one of the most exciting innovation in the 21 century." Drone is both interesting and useful. I hope one day Amazon would achieve what it announced: using drone technology to send packages to customers in 30 minutes or less!
回复删除Drone technology is awesome, but I think there is a hidden issue with the drone technology. I don't know the speed of the drone and how far it can navigate in the air. Just in case, if it and a airplane are on the same way(when a airplane lands), and it is not able to navigate the existence of the big airplane because the airplane still is far away from it. However, the airplane is gonna approach it within a very short time because its fast speed. What will happen?
