Drug Courier Drones
Long before Amazon perfects their courier drones, the drug cartels will be sending stuff over borders and onto shores from boats .

Because the way they are doing it now is so inefficient?

Well as far as human mules , yea.
they cant really be tracked to where they came from, very easy to get over the south border to a few-5 miles right now, range will probably be increased very rapidly. Just recharge and send back-or it would be just like old WWII c47's in the 70's - left abandoned in texas fields. |

Gas powered R.C. planes have existed for years -- I'm surprised this didn't happen 20-25 years ago.

It's all about payload capacity.

I'd imagine that capacity per unit cost would be more critical.

The drone idea is pretty clever. If the police somehow seize the drone, the drug dealers are behind the fence in Mexico and probably face little chance of being nabbed. People tend to snitch if there's enough heat.
I wonder how much a drone could carry and how far and how accurately? I'm talking about the ones which are supposed to be delivering books and other merchandise. If they could whiz around with 10 pounds and make a 5 mile or 10 mile round trip, that seems fool proof to some degree. |

I wonder what the FAA will have to say about these gizmo's? Saturday morning I had to dodge two Cessna's and a buzzard. I hate to think about sharing the sky with all these little buzzard size robots with pilots safely on the ground with no worry about hitting manned aircraft.
