The Aerodrome already has schools in Detroit, Michigan and Henderson, Nevada. Their stated mission is “providing education and assistance in obtaining certification for operations and maintenance, seeking employment or new employees, consulting services, outsourcing and aviation repair services”. If the drone industry is still “off” (and now there are all preconditions for this purpose), it will need pilots with a little more experience than flying in the back yard under the scheme “ground — to the nearest tree”.
“The industry of unmanned aerial vehicles will experience unprecedented growth up to 82.1 billion dollars between 2015 and 2025, creating at least 103 thousand new high-paying jobs. However, this industry faces shortage of trained personnel, the statement of the Aerodrome. — Our company was created to solve this problem. We will prepare the world for future unmanned systems.”
In the U.S. there are already airports for military drones, but the object in consort will be the first of its kind, offering their services to the private sector. In addition, the company representatives hope that this will reinforce the leading role of Nevada in the study of modern modes of transport.
