Читать книгу UAS Integration into Civil Airspace - Douglas M. Marshall - Страница 16

Aviation regulations have been in place for over a century. They have evolved into a complex and interconnected web of overlapping regulations, acceptable means of compliance, guidance materials, and standards. The introduction of unmanned aircraft into national airspaces around the world may properly be characterized as the greatest technical innovation in aviation since the development and implementation of gas turbine engines for commercial aircraft. This phenomenon has also been the most disruptive to airspace safety, something that cannot be said for jet engines. The next chapter takes us to UAS airspace integration efforts in the European Union, which have been responsive to this disruptive technology.
