Thanks for the link. Good to see some numbers to put the risk in perspective. Quote from the article:
"One damaging incident will occur no more than every 1.87 million years of 2kg [drone] flight time," said the researchers. Fatal incidents will be even rarer.
"This appears to be an acceptable risk to the airspace," they concluded.
We have comparable collision data with birds that is voluntarily submitted. I'm willing to accept this level of risk.
The risk are low but it says one drone hit in 1.87 Million years but does not say what year it will happen it could be year 2 then we could go the rest of the 1.87 without any just hope it is at the end and not the start |
