Prepare for takeoff. Unmanned aircraft are a rapidly growing category in consumer electronics.
At the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it
sometimes felt as if an army of drones had been released and was looking
for something useful to do.
For the first time, the show floor included an area, called the Unmanned Systems Marketplace,
set aside for unmanned aircraft and similar remote-controlled or
autonomous products. Over a dozen companies exhibited there, many
showing off multirotor gadgets that can fly with or without a human
behind the controls.
The market for consumer-geared unmanned aircraft is still small, and
it’s not quite clear what the devices will be used for. The companies
making them seem to believe buyers will enjoy simply flying around
taking videos, and will eventually invent new uses that increase their
appeal.
