As the drone industry continues to grow, aerial enthusiasts are flying -- and leaping -- to new heights. Latvia-based company Aerones completed "the world's first drone jump" last week with their 28-propeller drone. Skydiver Ingus Augstkalns, who came up with the daring idea, used the top of a 393-foot communications tower as a launch pad.

"Emotions are fantastic," Augstkalns said in a statement.
