Green Light for World’s Longest ‘Drone Highway’

While unmanned aerial vehicles continue to gain a larger place in our lives day by day, they are now available in various parts of the world. cargo delivery with drones even started. Of course, the increase in the number of unmanned aerial vehicles brings some applications only for these vehicles.

For drones to benefit from the system they will not need to have any extra equipment. Instead, an organization called Altitude Angel will place 29 systems called ‘Arrow Towers’ on the earth. In addition, structures such as existing base stations will also be used within the system.

The highway will eventually enable them to deliver products and travel safely with drones.
