How do you feel about sharing the skies with this little, wingless
UAV?


Appears to weigh about what a mature bald eagle would weigh (~14
lbs), and has about the same altitude range (both about 10,000 ft).

Since there are a lot more eagles than UAVs, I'd be more worried
about an eagle strike than a UAV strike.

Eagles have excellent MkII eyeballs, and can at least participate in
see-and-avoid.
