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.

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.
