Arachno 1D Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Drones, or unmanned aircrafts, are becoming more common and more affordable ? and as a result, they?re not just for the military anymore. To meet growing interest, the UK?s Civilian Aviation Authority will soon open the world?s first airport dedicated to drones, located in Southern Wales. The airport ? a pimped-out version of the West Wales Airport ? will feature a 4,100-foot runway and sit amid a 500-square-mile swath of airspace also reserved for drones. Currently, about 10,000 people live below the airspace. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted September 27, 2013 Member Share Posted September 27, 2013 I like to see the size of the drone that needs 4100ft of runway to land Is that still classified as a drone? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachno 1D Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Well it sure isnt going to be those small ones you see in the image as control range would be somewhere in the 1/2-3/4 mile [800-1200 mts]range for those, not even enough to reach the end of the runway.
