Tethered drones for persistent aerial surveillance applications
The current generation of free flying Drones, AKA Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) have two very important drawbacks; the first being an inability to cope with moderate wind speeds (>8 m/s), the second being a lack of endurance, with 20-30 min being typical for most small multi-rotor plat...

There are also a number of other issues which will also influence Drone (RPAS) use and acceptance amongst the general population, these being Safety, Security and Privacy. | ||
