This may be old-hat to some, but a quick search didn't detect this article and coming from NASA and dealing with Intelligent Autonomous UAS, I thought I'd share.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTxT-fbCleA ;
"Wait a second,
Doesn't the DJI have no-fly zones already in the flash-rom?
How did it take off any where near the WhiteHouse in the first place? "

"T.T. - Something like Bell's QuadTiltrotor.
IMHO, that seems to be the way package drones will probably end up. "

"Awesome job guys.
I really believe this will be the way businesses will end up implementing their drone business.
It's just the best use of the battery resources and safer if an engine cuts out in airplane mode.
It's my wish that your code can be…"

"If you've got the math and developers skills to teach the Pixhawk to introduce the two extra motors in their configurations, you should be able to get it to accept the two pusher motors.

"@Chim: Well said
Much better than my earlier knee-jerk reaction.
I am by trade, an IT Developer of said laptops, tablets and smartphones, so the issues with bugs, crashes and hacking are things I am all too well aware of and, in fact, I do relate to…"

"Ah Edgar....no. theres no way in h-e-double-hockey-sticks the FAA or Congress will ever allow that. Remember, you are essentially talking about making cruise missile tech even easier. Even the military requires pilots at a stick. Not a quad piloted…"
"Wait, what?!? -
From your other posts, and asking this kind of question, you sound like a photographer, who is not really an r/c airplane hobbiest and hasn't flown before.
If that's not true, then just please ignore what's coming next, it not meant…"

This sort of thing needs to be integrated into the drone industry, so some knuckle head trying to see how high he can go doesn't get sucked into a jet engine.…"

"It may be late in your development cycle, but can you add a tethered option, with and without power, for the drone?
Even if not now, maybe in later versions, having a power tether option would help in keeping it aloft longer, taking the battery…"

"So the answer is "Food", when someone asks: "What do you want to eat today?"."
"Speaking of paragliders, is it feasible to consider a paraglide type parachute at this stage for control on descent?"
"If y'all don't mind I'd like open for discussion air-traffic control inside a city.
Like the ubiquity of cars, there will be just simply too many of these things running around for a handful of controllers to handle well.
I really don't think the…"

"I've personally built a drone, and even though I think they're cool, when it comes to putting me into the air, I still want directional control when I lose power.
Can you guys put a somekind of wing on it, much like the hang-glider on your site? The…"

"Our hobby really takes skill to execute and responsibility to maintain.
If the hobby was still something that required skill to assemble from parts, we would see far fewer amateurs crashing about where they shouldn't be.
Back in the day cars first…"
