It’s been a decade since Central New York launched what would become the world’s largest business accelerator for uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and robotics. And now, we have the names of the five startups selected by Empire State Development (ESD) for Round 10 of GENIUS NY. These five finalists will move to downtown Syracuse later

Mark your calendars, as the 12th annual Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD) is coming up on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Hosted by Women in Aviation International (WAI) chapters and corporate members across the globe, the annual celebration introduces youth ages 8 to 18 (and their chaperones) to the world of aviation and aerospace through hands-on

The public comment window has officially closed on one of the most consequential regulatory proposals facing the U.S. drone industry to date. PS Docket No. 26-189 (Public Notice DA 26-758), the Federal Communications Commission’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (PSHSB) and Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) proposes to prohibit the continued importation and

Next up in our “Ask Drone Girl” series, we’re stepping inside the gymnasium to tackle indoor sports filming! If you have a question for Drone Girl, contact her here. I have a question for you about max indoor altitudes. I currently use a DJI Mini 3 to film our football practices, which are generally held

Back in 2019, DJI entered the action camera market with something to prove. The original Osmo Action wasn’t just another GoPro alternative; it was the first mainstream action camera with a front-facing color display, making it dramatically easier for vloggers and creators to frame themselves without guessing. Combined with RockSteady electronic stabilization, 4K/60fps recording, and

If you need a fully compliant, NDAA-approved drone setup, you can now officially pre-order three brand-new, Blue UAS-cleared camera gimbals from Gremsy USA and Teledyne FLIR OEM: the VIO F1, ORUS L NDAA, and LYNX NDAA. Between state-level government bans, FCC crackdowns, and strict federal procurement rules, everyone (not just government buyers!) is talking about

South African manufacturer ShadowfaxUAS has officially launched the SF45, an ITAR-free, non-Chinese Group 3 fixed-wing VTOL platform engineered for long-endurance ISR missions, heavy payload flexibility, and reduced operational costs.

In a matter of days, more than $110 million in federal funding, Army contracts, distribution partnerships and major program acceptances have hit the wire. Taken together, it’s clear that the U.S. government is not just buying finished American airframes, but funding and validating every single layer of the domestic drone supply chain — from raw

We’re all familiar with standard multirotor drones, which rely on spinning propellers to generate lift and thrust. Then there are fixed-wing drones, that require a thrust of power but better glide through the air with their wide wings. eVTOL drones are increasingly popular to blend the two. But what if there was another type
