Wonder when reading about security data of police … could it be used to fly 16TB hard drive or solid state drive and faster than cables … you know say 2 hour flight time with 1 Gb/s * 7200s about 7000Gb or 700GB. Even if 100 Gb/s it would be 70TB. Sorry but for a guy who actually drive hard drive to update system in the older days I wonder whether this is still relevant thinking.
How it deals with vfr would be a big issue as you cannot easy see them I supposed<p><a href="https://www.bfgc.co.uk/VFR_Guide.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.bfgc.co.uk/VFR_Guide.pdf</a>
Why would you use drones for this when you can build a very small rail network? Drones can't carry very much, and they can have problems in flight that will lead to dropped/damaged goods, not to mention they'll require more energy. A small rail network could transport the same small goods over the same areas with less energy and no potential dropped/damaged goods.<p>Their aerial route should ideally not go over forested or ecologically sensitive areas, in part to avoid contamination from crashed drones, and in part because drones push birds out of their nesting and feeding grounds, and territorial birds actively fight small drones.
