Push For Unmanned Airspace in SW Ohio Edges Closer

Ohio legislators continue to push to have the FAA re-designate airspace in SW Ohio for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). That inched closer to reality on Wednesday February 15 when the house approved aviation bill that included a measure for tests ranges throughout the United States, while SW Ohio has not yet been selected, it certainly puts both Wright Patterson AFB and Springfield ANBG as front-runners for their intensive work with UAVs. The airspace re-designation would be critical for the continued development and testing.
