While this is a little bit larger than our "Phantom/Mavic" class sUAS this is an example of why we need to know AVIATION rules & regulations because someday, some of us, might need to know how to fly WITH manned aircraft.
I stress this is a bit larger and more complex than our Phantoms but it demonstrates that "Drones/sUAS" are more than just quadrotors by DJI.
NASA has flown a large, remotely piloted aircraft equipped with detect-and-avoid technologies through the national airspace system for the first time without a safety chase plane following it.
NASA says Tuesday’s flight over California moves the U.S. closer to normalizing unmanned aircraft operations in airspace used by commercial and private pilots. (click link below for FULL story and pics)
