From Open to Specific to Certified Category, mostly commercial
“Drone” has become a generic word that is well understood by the general public, and that is the term we use most of the time, together with RPAS of course (remotely piloted aircraft system), or UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft System), or advanced aerial systems.
Whatever the terminology, our vision of drones encompasses innovative aircrafts and related systems used for Aerial Operations (inspection, mapping, videography, surveillance…) up to and including Air Mobility.
