Virginia Tech Unveils New Drone Park On Campus – DEEP AERO DRONES – Medium

Recently, Virginia Tech revealed their new drone park, which will be used as a space for students and researchers to test out drones for different uses. "I think the chance of something happening here that is big is higher than anywhere else in the world," says Timothy Sands, Virginia Tech President. The drone park stands 85 feet above the ground and has a nice controlled environment. "Drones can get lost, they can get damaged, they can damage other things, this provides a nice safe space for students to test and easily recover their drone," says Domonic Bisco, first-year engineering students. "Almost every field can use unmanned aerial systems in one way or another," says Sands.
