These are the first of what will surely be a significant number of commercial-grade drones use for aeriform surveillance around the land .

Until now , drones could only fly with an experimental airworthiness and not for commercial-grade function . Although that did n’t stopphotographersorjournalistsfrom using the machines for specialized determination . Itdid kickstart an entire industryof commercial drone pipe manufacture to check that there are UAVs quick for purchase when the FAA give the go ahead .
