Subsequently, the FAA issued “the Integration of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS) Roadmap”. [4] As of 2014, obtaining an experimental airworthiness certificate for a particular UAS is the way civil operators of unmanned aircraft are accessing the National Airspace System of the United States.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or unmanned aircraft system (UAS), commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft with no human pilot, crew, or passengers onboard. UAVs were originally developed through the twentieth century for military missions too "dull, dirty or dangerous" [ 1 ] for humans, and by the twenty-first, they had become essential ...
Advanced air mobility (AAM) are systems that incorporate support for next-generation transport such as such as remotely piloted, autonomous, or vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. [1] [2] [3] This includes those powered by electric or hybrid-electric propulsion. [4] AAM seeks to support unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and sustainable ...
An unmanned aircraft system (UAS) includes the equipment—for example communications links to control the aircraft—necessary to safely and efficiently operate the aircraft. Unmanned aircraft are categorized into five groups by size, and they vary in takeoff weight, operating altitude, and speed.
Concern, outrage and anger continued to build this week in response to a growing number of mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and now Georgia.
