Interesting background info here from December 2014:
FAA granted approval for 4 companies to use drones for commercial use.
According to their FAA applications:
• Trimble's UX5 drone weighs 5.5 pounds and performs precision aerial surveys by taking digital photographs.
• VDOS plans to fly Aeryon SkyRanger drones to inspect flare stacks for Shell Oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
• Clayco plans to fly Skycatch multi-rotor drones to survey construction sites.
• Woolpert plans to fly Altavian Nova Block III drones, which weigh 15 pounds and are 5 feet long with a 9-foot wing span, to map rural Ohio and Ship Island, Miss.
Drones "will change the way we conduct some of our existing business in the not-too-distant future, but more importantly, will create completely new and world-changing applications we haven't even thought of yet," said Jeff Lovin, a Woolpert senior vice president.
FAA has 167 applications pending.
Congress set deadline of September 2015 for FAA to determine regulations.
