We take to the air with the latest in unmanned flight technology, visiting a drone rodeo in Nevada, looking at Facebook's latest efforts to provide free wifi to the world's remote regions, and hearing from Dr Mirko Kovac, director of the aero-robotics lab at Imperial College, London. Ultra-manoeuvrable unmanned aircraft could be about to transform our internet provision, our parcel delivery, even global disaster relief. But is there a darker scarier side to this revolution? Jeremy Wagstaff of Reuters thinks so. We also hear from a former US government regulatory advisor, Lisa Ellman, who now chairs the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Group for Hogan Lovells, a global law firm in Washington DC.
