Detailed summary of
UAS with provide future growth in NAS with
Economic growth
Technological advancement
How will UAS integrate into NAS
Technology such as NextGen
Regulations
Why such a delay in integration of NAS with UAS
NAS not ready to handle such demand
Assistant administrator for NextGen
James T. Eck
Not ready for integration until 2025
Summary
False hope of ready to go now

Rushing such technology into NAS
Risk safety of flight
Funds need to be appropriated by Congress
Issue/Prob Statement
If UAS integrated into NAS with manned aircraft
Entire system would crash
NAS flights
50,000 flight per day
1% growth added each year
Next 21 years
DOT IG thinks NextGen
A bit too rosy

Conducted a survey
157 individuals
Address the growing need of UAS to fill the demand for manned aviation
Multitude of questions
Perception of just having one pilot
Perception of having no pilot
For cargo
For passengers
Survey is justified, but UAS is coming to the NAS
