Drone Developments In 2020 And Beyond

Ten experts on drone developments in 2020 and beyond

Uncrewed Aerial Systems—from small camera drones to monster heavy-lifters—have become an indispensable tool across industries as far-ranging as agriculture and zoning. And just wait until the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has integrated them into the U.S. airspace! Someday soon, will a drone be the first to show up at the scene of an accident? Or will delivery drones crowd our neighbourhood skies? Will we have enough drone operators to keep up with demand or will drone be autonomous? To find out what the future of UAS might look like, we interviewed 10 drone experts to see where they think this rapidly evolving technology is headed. Here are their predictions.

Drones have emerged from toy novelties crashed on Christmas morning to essential tools that touch so many facets of our increasingly complex world. Bold American innovation, like Fluidity’s FT Aviator, will make these assets safer and more capable in the performance of vital tasks in our society, from search and rescue to augmenting the capabilities of our military special operations forces to opening the skies for hobbyists of all types. The sky is no longer the limit.

Our drone controller, the FT Aviator, was designed to make flying intuitive and easy to learn—an almost subconscious act, such that you can focus on what you’re actually out there to do, which is to capture the highest quality imagery possible, rather than how you’re going to get there. By simplifying the flying task, the FT Aviator reduces the time it takes to onboard skilled, proficient pilots and empower them to safely fly in more complex, dynamic environments. There simply aren’t enough skilled pilots out there to manage the future demands of UAS with traditional controls, but we can remove those barriers to entry with our unique controller.
