Statistic Info

While unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) have been around in various incarnations for over a century, they have gained significant commercial momentum over the past year or so. Relegated to military activities and intelligence gathering until fairly recently, drones have taken off as a toy and a hobby and were one of the hottest gifts this past holiday season. They have grown commercially so much that the US Federal Aviation Administration (FA) has mandated registration of new drones.
