10 Fun Facts About Drones

If all you hope to see when you look to the skies are flying birds and planes you are dead wrong. Nowadays we have drones ruling the sky and while most of us think that the flying machines are just like any other invention there are ten interesting facts that you should learn about them.

Helpers

Drones are useful in other fields besides defense and surveillance. They are lifesavers which make sure that food and medicine reach remote or war torn areas. Drones are the only way to get to some far flung destinations where people cannot reach easily.

Pizza delivery
The flying machines have been used by commercial entities to make deliveries. A pizza company recently stole the show with their video of a drone delivering a pizza. Next time you order a pizza from Domino’s Pizza, don’t be surprised if a drone comes in place of your favorite delivery guy.

Farms
Farmers take advantage of drones to survey their lands as a way of inspecting the state of their crops. This goes a long way to save them money that could have been used to hire labourers for the task. Drones are more thorough at this job compared to man who might get tired along the way or miss some important signs that crops need attention.

Photography 
Perhaps the most fun fact about drones is that they can be used to take aerial pictures. This makes them a dream come true for photographers who find it difficult to take to the skies in order to capture great shots. Still on photography these flying machines are the best way to cover all angles at weddings and other important events. A at a wedding certainly makes things more exciting for guests who will be talking about it long after the day is over.

Swarmed
By 2020, there might be 30,000 drones overhead in the U.S, most of which might be used by police for surveillance and crime prevention.

Jobs
If you thought that drones are taking away jobs, how about the fact that there are more 60,000 people employed by the U.S air force to process all information being collected by drones?

Police
Don’t expect cops and copters to man the entire U.S – Mexico borderline as drones have been doing that for the last couple of years. They are faster and can easily get to any hideout which border patrol agents may be unable to see.

Celebrities 
Paparazzi relied on a drone to get valuable shots of Tina Turner’s wedding with Erwin Bach in 2015.

Medics
It would be much faster to get defibrillators to heart attack victims using drones if we relied on Stefen Riegebauer’s system.
Cheap
If you thought that all drones did was drop bombs or spy on people now you know that there is a softer, even fun side to the flying machines. The technology might be expensive but if you live in New York it is possible to get access to one for as little as $30 a day. Take advantage of this and who knows?
