FCC Moves to End a 35-Year Ban on Drones in the 800 MHz Cellular Band, With an Oct. 29 Vote
The FCC will vote Oct. 29 on a draft order that would let drones use 50 MHz of licensed, nationwide 800 MHz cellular spectrum by carving uncrewed aircraft out of a rule that dates to the airplane-phone era. The ban on passengers using phones in flight stays.

Optionally Piloted Aircraft: The Platform That Bridges Crewed and Autonomous Flight
Optionally piloted aircraft hold manned airworthiness certificates while enabling fully autonomous operations—closing the regulatory gap that stalls pure UAVs. From proven Afghan cargo resupply missions to DARPA’s autonomous Black Hawk delivered to the Army in 2026, the concept reshapes military logistics and aviation.

Multirotor vs. Fixed-Wing vs. Hybrid VTOL: Engineering Tradeoffs for Every Mission
Every drone airframe resolves the same core tension: hover capability costs endurance, endurance costs hover. A physics-first breakdown of how multirotors, fixed-wing platforms, and hybrid VTOLs make that tradeoff — and which missions each class actually wins.

How Drones Navigate When GPS Is Gone: The Full Toolkit
Russian jamming dropped FPV hit rates from 40–60% to under 30%. Ukraine's response accelerated every GPS-denied navigation technique in the book — from inertial sensors and visual odometry to quantum magnetometers and $50 autonomy modules. Here's how each layer works.
