While at the Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas in January 2017, ANN CEO and Editor-In-Chief, Jim Campbell stopped to look at a little drone that was design for recreational use. It is compact, has a great 4K camera, and even has add-on modules aimed at the recreational operator.
It’s called the S6 Mini Drone and is produced by Wingsland. Sales associate, Taylor Reina, gave Jim some of the background information. It folds down to about the size of an iPhone 6 and is intended to be an ideal drone for backpacking and portable use.
While the 4K camera is one of the key features, it also has add-on modules that include a searchlight, a small toy cannon that can shoot a harmless plastic projectile eight or nine feet, an Emoji display screen and an object avoidance attachment.
The FAA published airworthiness criteria for the proposed certification of 10 different UAS as special class aircraft. This is a crucial step to enabling more complex drone operations beyond what is allowed under the small unmanned aircraft rule (Part 107), including package delivery.
Director of Aircraft Certification Service Policy and Innovation. Dr. Michael C. Romanowski said, The development of airworthy, durable, and reliable unmanned aircraft is a crucial step forward for this innovative sector. Using data from the remnants of a drone that hit an LAPD helo last September and other evidence, the Feds believe they have found the operator of the errant aircraft. Special agents with the FBI this week arrested a Hollywood man on a federal charge alleging that he recklessly operated a drone that crashed into a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter. The drone damaged the LAPD aircraft and the pilot was forced to initiate an emergency landing. The drone also damaged a vehicle wh
I graduated from college in 2008, and after 60 cover letters, five phone screeners, and two interviews, secured an entry-level role at a forgotten entertainment website. Four months later, the U.S. entered the Great Recession. Dozens of my co-workers had lost their jobs by November, and in December, the office’s secretary had a panic attack that ended with her weeping through prophecies about the end of the world as paramedics strapped her onto a gurney and wheeled her out the front door. Most co-workers exited through the fire escape, but a handful of us ended up locked in a meeting in a room by the police “for our safety.” I’ll never forget how a junior sales manager tried to continue a brainstorm session for a Hanes underwear back-to-school sponsorship. Needless to say, they didn’t book the client.
