FAA Predicts 10,000 Drones By 2020

The FAA predicts 10,000 commercial UAVs could be in the skies by 2020 after guidelines are approved.


By Joe Schoffstall - CNSNews - For now, Congress has asked the FAA to write regulations on civil operation of small unmanned aircraft systems in the national airspace and submit them by 2015.

"Once enabled, commercial UAS markets will develop. There are many potential ways for a company to generate revenue from UAS applications, whether from new markets or more efficient applications in established markets. Based upon the expected regulatory environment, FAA predicts roughly 10,000 active commercial UASs in five years," states the FAA Aerospace Forecast for Fiscal Years 2012-2032.
