What’s happening? Startup Parallel Flight Technologies is building heavy duty drones that an help in fighting wildfires by carrying equipment and can help by transporting organs for transplant.

Why is this important? The vast majority of drones can fly for 15 minutes. The heavy duty drone can reach speeds from 60 to 100 mph and carry up to 100 pounds over longer distances.

How will this be important? Regulatory and legislative issues with heavy duty drones and drone statutes/regulations.
