What is all this talk about drones? These flying robots can be quite tiny, and some are as large as massive commercial aircraft. NOVA has crafted this timely documentary that looks into their commercial and military uses. They were able to draw on rare access to drone engineers and those who fly them for the United States military to create this unique portrait. Over twelve individuals are profiled here, including Peter Singer of the Brookings Institution, Bill Sweetman of Aviation Week, and Matt Funk, the Navy's lead test engineer for the X-47B. The site also has a number of great bonus features, including profiles such as How Dumb Are Drones?, Imaging With Radar, and Where Combat Planes Retire.
