The environmental group Greenpeace hit the news recently when they flew a drone shaped and designed to look like Superman, straight into the wall of a French nuclear power plant. In a deliberate attempt to draw attention to the vulnerability of the power plant, an activist from Greenpeace piloted the drone into the no-fly zone around the French utility company EDF’s nuclear power plant near Lyon, and then proceeded to fly the UAV into the wall of the spent-fuel pool building at the site. 2.

Never have Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s) or drones been allowed to fly over groups of people but it seems like a new innovation in drone parachute technology by a company called Indemnis may change that in the near future. Disruption at one of the UK’s busiest airports, Gatwick, over the festive period, was caused by multiple drone sightings which led to a complete shutdown of flights both in and outbound. Approximately 1,000 flights were affected, causing chaos, misery and disappointment for thousands of passengers. The chaos was compounded by the incident happening so close to the run up to Christmas; the airport was forced to close between December 19 and 21st, and few could have imagined what problems such a careless act could create for so many people. The commercial drone industry has gone from strength to strength, and 2019 looks set to be another exciting year for new developments and trends. Many companies are working hard on new drone applications to enable them to be incorporated into our home surveillance systems, or indeed, to have them be used as the sole security system in modern homes. There are of course many challenges facing such companies, but a few of those who are making headway have come up with some innovative and exciting new drone security systems: It seems as if drones are just getting techier and techier, and that the limits for refining and improving them are endless. One of the latest new inventions for drones are landing structures, giving them the ability to perch on structures mid-way through flight. The popular fund-raising platform, Kickstarter, was recently taken to by a French inventor seeking to raise funds to help construct and sell a drone called the Metafly. The drone design was inspired by winged insects, and with nearly 2,000 people pledging funds to help enable the drone to be sold on the market, its popularity is set to rise. Drone technology is evolving rapidly in almost every industry. New, upgraded models are being released every year with better
