Drones Can Make Deliveries Just Not In Cities
Drone Rules The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officially released new commercial drone rules—banning automated deliveries anywhere in urban areas. This can't be good news for companies like DHL and Amazon hoping to launch drone delivery services. But keeping drones from delivering to large cities is just part of the new regulations. Additional rules include pilots keeping drones in their sight, passing a test every two years, and flying no more than one drone at a time. Also, drones and their packages, cannot weigh more than 55 pounds, can't fly higher than 400 feet, and must stay under 100 mph. Additional rules can be found online on the FAA's site.
