用无人机看世界

A drone moves high above downtown Reno, Nevada, on the afternoon of June 23, 2019 as part of NASA’s TCL-4 (Technology Capability Level) operation. TCL-4 involves flight testing multiple UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) in higher-density urban areas for tasks such as newsgathering, package delivery and large-scale contingency mitigation. The next and final test site will be Corpus Christi, Texas in August.

The challenges associated with the safe flight of drones – piloted or unpiloted – are a big topic at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, going on now through July 28. NASA researchers are at the show talking to thousands of general aviation pilots and aviation enthusiasts about how NASA, with its partners including the FAA, has created a game plan to address the biggest barriers including noise, safety, certification, and public acceptance.

2019年6月23日下午，作为美国宇航局TCL-4(技术能力等级)行动的一部分，一架无人机在内华达州雷诺市上空飞行。TCL-4包括在高密度城市地区对多个无人机系统(无人机系统)进行飞行测试，以完成新闻采集、包裹递送和大规模应急缓解等任务。下一个也是最后一个测试地点将是8月份德克萨斯州的科珀斯克里斯蒂。

无论是有人驾驶还是无人驾驶，无人机安全飞行所面临的挑战都是EAA AirVenture航空公司的一大主题。美国宇航局的研究人员正在与数千名通用航空飞行员和航空爱好者讨论美国宇航局与包括美国联邦航空局在内的合作伙伴如何制定游戏计划，以解决噪音，安全，认证和公众接受等最大障碍。
