Helicopter Sized Drones are Here

What is happening? A group of international organizations are working together to create a new corridor for helicopter sized drones to carry cargo and people from Syracuse, NY to Montreal, Canada. They’re calling it a  “advanced air mobility” corridor. The helicopter sized drones will be battery powered. It will be an opportunity for small regional airports.

Why is this important? The drones are being built in the US, have not been certified, but are expect to by 2024. It is said that  “5,000 underutilized regional airports throughout the country could eventually be utilized as bases for the aircraft, assisting with cargo deliveries.”
