Default OT Drones, or unmanned aircraft

*Heard on Kojo Nnambi that unmanned aircraft for commericial (and
private?) use will be legal next year, and got to thinking.....

In a regular plane, the pilot can look over his left shoulder and see
what's back there,


He can see to the left and slightly behind, but
not what's farther back or directly behind.


and if he adjusts his right sideview mirror right,
he can see what's back there on the right side.


What right sideview mirror? Might find one on
some plane that someone has added, but I
don't think it's common.





He can turn the
plane slightly and see what is around him 360^ *He can lift his head
and through a clear canopy, he can see what is above him.

Is any of this true with unmanned planes.


No. The unmanned plane can't turn 360. It just
flies straight forever. To get back to where it took
off from it has to have enough fuel to circle the
earth.



*I have the feeling the
pilot can see straight ahead, and if it has a down-pointed camera,
straight down. * Am I piloting the Hy-un-dry of unmanned planes?


No, more likely you're trolling.
