Robots, Jets Could Share Airspace by 2008
From Associated Press
NASA said it was launching a program that could have robotic planes and conventionally piloted aircraft routinely and safely sharing civil airspace by 2008.
Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, are now limited primarily to restricted test or military airspace.
Industry association UAV National Industry Team, the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration are participating in the program, which aims to deliver to the FAA proposals for sharing airspace.
