So what's the problem? The drone pilot must always give way to full-size aircraft and has to look out for them at all times.
Wouldn't that mean that all drones would have to be equipped with "seeing" equipment of some sort in their direction of travel at all times for when they are overtaking another aircraft from that aircraft's blind areas? One can hardly be continually turning around to check conflicting traffic from one's rear?


If in controlled airspace they would also need a transponder surely?

cheers tet.
