Drone zone: Group flies competitive copter races across Mid-South

Please enable Javascript to watch this video MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A new competition is growing in the sports world, and Memphis is getting in on the action.
Drone racing puts the player virtually inside the drone, which can then fly up to 100 mph. The Mid-South was without a connection to competitive drone racing, until 901FPV.

David Myers, member of 901FPV and a teacher at St. Louis Catholic School, said the group introduces the virtual sports to people unfamiliar with drone racing.

“It's something you just have to experience to understand,” Myers said. “It's incredible to see in person. It's a spectacular thing to see some of these pilots maneuvering these obstacles.”

“Just put on a set of our goggles,” Myers said. “It's unlike anything I've ..

As the U.S. military and defense contractors eye a potential drone war with Iran as tensions with the country remain elevated, the defense industry is also preparing to test-fly domestic versions of its combat drones over major American cities in an effort to fully integrate military-grade drones into civil airspace alongside commercial air traffic in the coming years.

RAF pilots to get help of ‘drone squadron’ to confuse enemy and deliver weapons

RAF pilots will soon have vital back-up against enemy attack – thanks to Britain’s first drone squadron.
The pilotless aircraft will fly into action alongside fighter jets to project them from anti-aircraft systems.
And in future they could be armed to take out targets.
The pioneering fleet of low cost 12in drones will be carried in pods on 216 Squadron’s F-35 and Eurofighter Typhoons – and controlled by the pilots.
A source said: “The swarming drones, or ‘loyal wingmen’ as they are being called, could operate in many modes – from confusing the enemy to delivering weapons, electronic jamming, intelligence and surveillance.”
The project is part of a £160million push to revolutionise our Armed Forces. It’s hoped the swarms will allow pilots to “deliver lethal combat power more effectively and safely”.

The Ministry of Defence says trials are being carried out in the UK and abroad and the squadron – which has “exceeded expectations” – is set to be ready by April.
