AINsight: Drowning in Drones?
Business and general aviation practitioners are uniquely positioned to seize the future of urban mobility.

The current state of industry euphoria that surrounds anything resembling a drone reflects the remarkable level of investment and interest in what is clearly a technology both for the future and for now. 

With some notable exceptions, including companies like Bell, Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer, much of the enthusiasm, talent, intellectual curiosity, and capital that is fueling this aerial revolution is coming from outside the traditional community of aerospace organizations. From a business aviation perspective, what are some of the implications of these initiatives? Is this a revolution, an evolution, or simply a distracting buzz—one that will come and go like an annoying but otherwise harmless swarm of gnats that finds its way to its ultimate fate on a bizjet’s brightly polished leading edge?
