Unmanned aerial vehicles firmly in a person’s life. Originally a military development, today they are both fun, and tool specialists in various fields. The popularity of drones has forced the U.S. government to adopt a law requiring owners of drones compulsory registration of their vehicles. And now in the U.S. plan to open the first commercial airport designed exclusively for drones. We mentioned this airport on our site last month, but now in the Internet appeared the first details.
This airport is developed by the company Aerodrome, which is famous for the fact that owns several educational centers throughout the United States, where the company’s specialists teach everyone the intricacies of working with unmanned aerial vehicles. Graduates of these schools receive a special certificate confirming that they are professional pilots of drones. Given that many large companies like Amazon are seriously interested in using drones in their business, the need for such personnel will only grow with time. Today the salary of such a specialist is around $ 50,000 a year.
Commercial airport for drones will be called Eldorado Droneport and will be located in boulder city, close to the major city’s airport. The aim of the project is the provision of support services and service drones of large companies and corporations, which, like it or not, but need a place to take-off, landing and storage of their numerous drones. The airport, like the rest of the company establishment Aerodrome, will combine commercial and educational functions. Instructors will teach students and train them to operate and maintain a variety of UAVs, and on the runway will constantly land and take off drones of the company’s customers. According to the statements of the management of Aerodrome, from those who want to use them future airport now there is no release. The construction of the airport is planned to be completed in the next three years.
