What steps can be taken to limit drones in commercial airline space? Jammers can be defeated and anti-drone weapons can just be evaded.
We are entering dangerous territory.

Why limit them? Studies have shown that drone impacts aren't much different than bird impacts. There is even talk of turning lower altitudes into commercial airspace just for drones. Really we just need a way for drones to automatically avoid commercial aircraft. Birds are great at not hitting each other, same should be possible for drones

Bird impacts cause millions of dollars in damage to aircraft every year and have caused a number of fatal crashes. Airports usually employ countermeasures like trained hawks and snipers to get rid of as many birds as possible.
Kayden Sullivan
because they have cameras on them
airlines should hire someone just to shoot them down with a sniper rifle
that would be badass

Birds in a flock all fly at the same speed. Drones do not fly at the same speed as aircraft. It is much harder for a drone to get out of an aircraft's way.
The solution is for drones to just not get in the way of aircraft in the first place. This means under 500 feet if you are within 5 miles of an airport.

Same way we keep birds away from airports

No
>> much harder for a drone to get out of the way
Bullshit. The thrust to weight ratio of drones is fucking amazing, for reference see the video. That thing takes off like a rocket. The problem is the drone figuring out its position and speed relative to the plane. Not getting in the way requires the same thing. GPS and plane transponder data might not be good enough for this.
>> sniper rifle
Oh boy, so you're gonna tell everyone who lives near an airport to be mindful of stray bullets and falling drones?
Unlike birds, humans can be fined for damages. Second, if a single drone impact causes an airliner to crash and kill everyone, then the manufacturer of that airliner should be held liable. If one drone strike is enough to take down a plane, so is a bird strike.
In addition the revenue produced by drone sales is more than the costs of bird strikes. Bird strikes are estimated to cost the aviation industry $1.2 billion:

While drone revenue in 2016 was something on the order of $4.6 billion:

Birds have a wider range currently than drones, so even in a ridiculous scenario where a bunch of idiots are trying to fly drones in to planes, drones will result in a net increase in GDP.

If you're a jihadist and looking specifically to take down an airliner, all you need to do is pack a drone with an explosive.
>hit the nose = hurt pilots, likely crash
>Hit the tail = uncontrollable plane, guaranteed crash
>Sucked into engine = Not lethal damage to the plane, but will still scare people and make big news

don't give them ideas

Don't worry. If these guys could get the bombs in the first place, they would just use them as they are for much easier attacks.

Most of the drones I've seen that fly around airports are the ones with cameras on gimbals on them. Like the DJI phantom or mavric. Both of which, btw, have a top speed of around 44 mph. That is close to the landing speed of a Cessna, but most commercial aircraft, like the one seen in the OP, have a landing speed closer to 150 mph.
Sure, racing drones can keep up with most landing aircraft, but most people with racing drones fly very near the ground maneuvering around a track either in a competition or practicing for one, not flying 1000 feet in the air taking pictures with a shitty camera.
Brody Roberts
I'd do the same thing if I found out some retarded fucker was putting the lives of innocent people in danger. I don't give a shit if I lose the respect of low-life criminal scum like you.
Isaac Perry
You can't currently lift any significant payload with a drone anyway. We are safe.. for now.

Kite hobbyist here. We sort of are in a similar situation, but kites dodge even slower than drones.
As a group, we've taken the initiative to educate ourselves and each other about airports and safety, and FAA (in the US) regulations that apply to our hobby.
My hunch is that will happen within the drone community as well -- the issue will not be morons flying where they don't know they are not supposed to, but intentional attempts to damage aircraft.
Bentley Edwards
There is something wrong with pilots and flight people, they are fucking ABSURD with fake "safety"
Pilots see another plane miles away and they go "WELL SKY SEEMS TO BE GETTING CROWDED I'M BAILING"
Look at that Harrison Ford "accident" where he came within a couple hundred feet of another plane and people wanted him to be charged or something...
It's fucking absurd
We will never see regular private air traffic without the FAA & other regulatory jews kicked out of controlling the air.
Zachary Hill

How high are these fuckin kites?
Michael Smith
This , why airfaggots are so assmad about it? In the video is obvious he wasnt going to hit the plane or anything
Ian Taylor
The FAA virgin versus the Chad Drone Bro
Luis Nelson
It's a well known fact that if a flying object comes within 300 feet of an airplane it crashes instantly
Robert Cox
Do you mean the Harrison Ford accident where he landed on the fucking taxiway instead of the runway?
John Perry
top kek
Gavin King
>>implying you'd still be able to hit a plane with enough explosives to hit a plane
>>hit the nose
good luck maneuvering the drone to do that
>>hit the tail
good luck maneuvering to do that. You'll need a shit ton of explosives to take off the tail. One can land without a tail fin

God forbid airline pilots not want to crash and kill everyone.
>Pilots see another plane miles away and they go "WELL SKY SEEMS TO BE GETTING CROWDED I'M BAILING"
There are actual rules about traffic separation in the air. Imagine if you were diving on the motorway and a bunch of idiots were driving in the wrong direction. Of course you'd be concerned.
>We will never see regular private air traffic without the FAA & other regulatory jews kicked out of controlling the air.
The current system exists because without it planes were actually colliding. If you want to enter controlled airspace, get permission like everyone else you lazy fuck.
>It's a well known fact that if a flying object comes within 300 feet of an airplane it crashes instantly
At that kind of distance you don't have the manoeuvrability or control to avoid another aircraft. You're relying on luck to avoid a collision, and if that hasn't happened yet that only means you've been lucky so far.
Sebastian Howard
You're wrong. All those educated and well trained people who have been working to improve air traffic safety for decades are just paranoid. They have no idea what they are doing. The anons on this thread, however - who have no experience in the area whatsoever and draw conclusions from video-games, wikipedia articles and, more importantly, from that good ol' gut-feeling that never fails them - these anons are correct.
