…a breakthrough technology Also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or uncrewed aerial systems (UASes), drones are small aircraft that can carry various payloads, including cameras. They are typically remote-controlled with devices such as tablets, gamepads, or smartphones. These flying robots can also fly by using GPS and embedded sensors. Both fixed-wing and quadcopter drones are becoming increasingly autonomous, but in the meantime, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration offers waivers for operations beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS). Drones were initially invented for military use, designed as targets for shooting practice. They became weapon systems later. However, people have…

Rather than applaud the decision, New York lawmakers ostracized the avionic wonders to New Jersey. In the words of Democratic state Senator Brad Hoylman, “Nobody owns New York City’s skyline – it is a public good and to allow a private company to reap profits off it is in itself offensive.” The event followed the model of Macy’s fireworks that have illuminated New York's skies since 1958.
