Drone Deliveries Finally Set to Take Flight As Amazon Gets FAA's Approval, DJI All Set to Launch the All-New DJI Ronin RS2, Drones for Predicting Hurrican Behavior, Drones for Accident Reconstruction, Part 107 Renewal During COVID



Our biggest story this week is about drone deliveries.Archaic drone regulations have prevented drone deliveries from truly taking off in the United States. While countries like Africa have been quick to realize the benefits of this technology, drone deliveries in the US have not seen mass adoption till now.



However, this might change with this latest development.Apparently, FAA has given Amazon's drone delivery arm, Amazon Prime Air the go-ahead for making drone deliveries. Interestingly, Amazon shall be flying under Part 135 and not Part 107. Regular Drone U followers might recall our blog post where we had revealed how you can make drone deliveries under Part 107 as well.



So, do you think that drone deliveries will finally set flight in the United States? And, will this speed up the development of UTM infrastructure, an enabler for making drone deliveries in congested areas? Let us know.Our next story is about last week's devastating wildfires in California. DOI's decision to ground their entire fleet of Chinese drones made it even more difficult to fight these wildfires that have destroyed many homes and left numerous families devastated. When we are already using Chinese parts in smartphones and laptops, does it even make sense to single out Chinese drones?



Other stories discusses in today's show include the latest rumors about DJI Ronin RS2, drones for predicting hurricane behavior, drones for accident reconstruction and much, much more.
