| 摘要： | In the late 1900s, civilian air transport consisted of commercial scheduled airlines and general aviation using small aircraft that were piloted by humans. Since then, various technology revolutions and their impacts upon technical capabilities, miniaturization, and cost reductions have enabled a third component of civilian aviation: drones. Drones, or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), have a prospective market value above $1 trillion per year, doubling civilian air markets (ref. 1). This UAS/drone component is on a very fast growth track, with burgeoning applications for service, government, science, commercial missions including delivery, inspections, agriculture, mapping, search and rescue, firefighting, border patrol, law enforcement, conservation, real estate, and more. It also enables the realization of a century long dream of aviation: affordable and safe personal air vehicles to transport humans. Before drones, civilian aircraft were piloted by humans and numbered in the thousands. UAS vehicles number in the millions even now and their numbers are realistically headed into the many tens of millions, especially as they replace automobiles. |
