Drones aren't new, but they are definitely evolving. This past weekend, at the Cleveland Air Show, <a href="http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2017/09/drones_are_gaining_ground_--_a.html" target="_blank">more than a dozen drone groups and companies were represented</a> (Cleveland is believed to be the first air show to admit drones, in 2014). One spokesperson said that the drone tent was so packed, that a larger tent will likely be required next year. Public awareness of drones has dramatically increased, especially as they continue to make headlines and to help with--and even hinder--public endeavors. This past week has been no exception, as our news roundup will demonstrate.
