Until passengers feel ...Ah, my point exactly, Dan! Until passengers feel comfortable around UAVs (simply flying near them, nevermind riding in them), the FAA will never allow them in commercial airspace. It will happen, but I think you'll be getting your pies delivered by Joe Sixpack driving his beater car for the foreseeable future.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672130838538458159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349090630656329280.post-21691080041449061132009-08-21T18:39:38.879-04:002009-08-21T18:39:38.879-04:00@Phil - Ah, that's where I become a naysayer. ...@Phil - Ah, that's where I become a naysayer. I think carrying human passengers will be the last mission area for UAV's to move in to. <br /><br />UAV's hauling cargo, sure! <br />UAV's hauling soldiers - not so sure.<br />UAV's hauling business travelers and vacationing families... not for a very long time, imho. I suspect UAV commercial passenger flights will be safe long before they're common.<br /><br />But small UAV's hauling pizzas, now that's an idea whose time can't come soon enough! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923543314100538622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349090630656329280.post-28181571569065927022009-08-21T09:56:23.299-04:002009-08-21T09:56:23.299-04:00Not to be a naysayer, but too much needs to improv...Not to be a naysayer, but too much needs to improve technology-wise (think of the recent tour helicopter crash over the Hudson river...now put a UAV in the mix) before the FAA would even consider it ... the good news is that gov't and industry are working this, it will happen, just not by 2012. The real question, when will we have commercial passenger flights via UAVs ...Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672130838538458159noreply@blogger.com
