Drones- Technology that can make things easier

A male bee is termed in the English language as a “Drone”. But now if I ask anyone out there what a Drone meant, then I will be provided with a line of wonderful techy descriptions on this very word. Yes, I am talking about Drones, the Octocopters that came in news right from the year 2013. The then information about Drones was that Amazon, the leading online shopper, was about to make use of Drones or Octocopters as delivery machines. Amazon was planning to deliver the goods that were ordered by customers through these Drones.

A Drone is a small model of a helicopter, which can weigh up to 2.3 kg. Amazon was planning to deliver goods within 30 minutes after the placement of order with the help of these Drones. Within a period of five years, you will be able to find Amazon Drones buzzing here and there to deliver goods right to your door steps. It is said that U.S Federal Aviation Administration needs to give approval for the drones for the use of common man. The approval can bring about a lot of changes to the online giant Amazon and its methodologies.

While Amazon is running tests for its drones in Canada, we find Google making the next moves with drones in Australia and DHL; the German logistics company will be flying the drones right along the 7.5 mile passenger port of Norddeich.  The mission will be to deliver goods to the recipients. From this place, the local courier service will be delivering the goods to the recipient.

But the latest news related to drones says that the Federal Aviation Administration or the FAA has given permission this Thursday for the commercial drones in the United States. The FAA has allowed six movie companies to fly the drones. The permission has been granted for movies as well as for Television shows.

The FAA has already given approval for commercial drones in Arctic areas, for the purpose of checking the ocean wildlife and oil pipelines. Drones can be of great help to movie makers, as it can fly at low altitudes and will be able to replace the choppers that are too risky during filming. These drones meant for filming, will be flying in closed sets. Moreover, they will be moving around right in front of the person operating it. This will be making a great change in the film industry. Hollywood would soon be seen shooting movies with the help of drones.

As per FAA administrator Michael Huerta, these drones will not be allowed to fly more than 400 feet. So I must say that the dangers of drones reaching out to the aircrafts or birds are pretty lesser. Hollywood is now waiting for the drones to enter the movie sets and give the industry a whole lot of benefits. The prime benefit of drones is to replace the helicopters from the shooting spots, as they tend to cause a whole lot of danger to the people around. It is expected that the restrictions put on drones will be soon relaxed and that more number of companies would be coming up with drones for making their work easier.
