Drone Economics
In the past 10 years, drones have garnered much attention and much reporting ink. And rightly so. Hundreds of millions of dollars are invested in commercial drones and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) every year, making this emerging industry a hot topic of discussion. The popularity is also evidenced by the proliferation of drone conferences in recent years. The overarching—and as yet unaddressed—question is this: When and how will commercial drone-based companies begin to make money?
The intention of this book is to discuss commercial drone economics. DRONE is an acronym for Dynamic Remotely Operated Navigation Equipment. The purpose of a commercial drone is to provide a reliable income stream to the user…to make money.
