FAA gives Univeristy of Kentucky permission to research drones nationwide

FAA gives Univeristy of Kentucky permission to research drones nationwide | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
From www.wkyt.com - May 19, 2016 11:26 PM
The Federal Aviation Administration has given the University of Kentucky permission to research unmanned aerial systems or drones.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
Just to be clear this is about the University of Kentucky (not the United Kingdom as the original headline implied).  Another groundbreaking permission to allow drones to fly where no one lives.  Awesome for Kentucky, but this pattern of permitting things to happen where the real-world challenges of flying drones are minimal is not helping the rapid adoption of this technology.
